PARIS -- Andy Murray headed out on court with an opportunity to reach the French Open final for the first time. Rafael Nadal, however, didnt give him a chance. Murray, who missed the tournament at Roland Garros last year because of a back injury, reached the semifinals for the second time in four years. But for the second time in four years, he was beaten by Nadal in straight sets. "It was a tough day for me," said Murray, who lost 6-3, 6-2, 6-1 Friday. "It was a bad, bad day." Murrays serve was broken six times, the same number of break-point chances Nadal had. On the other end, Murray failed to even earn a break chance. "He missed hardly any balls," Murray said. "I mean, his forehand -- especially with the conditions the way they were today -- was incredibly hard to control the ball." Murray is now 7-7 in Grand Slam semifinals. He has won two major titles, including at Wimbledon last year where he became the first British man to win the grass-court tournament in southwest London since Fred Perry in 1936. But clay is a tougher surface for a player who likes the speedier courts. And playing on clay against Nadal, an eight-time French Open champion with a 65-1 record at Roland Garros, is tougher still. "Today, I was mis-hitting a lot of balls. It was incredibly frustrating," Murray said. "In some ways you start trying too hard, and it doesnt always appear that way. But you want to do stuff too badly, and you end up making more mistakes and things get worse." The weather didnt help. After nearly two weeks of overcast skies and cool weather, the sun was out and the temperature soared to 28 degrees C (82 degrees F). Perfect conditions for Nadal on his favourite court in the world. "He served well and I didnt return well. Simple," Murray said. "Ball was coming through the court quicker today." Murray won his first Grand Slam title at the U.S. Open in 2012. That was after losing his first four major finals, and it was also after hiring Ivan Lendl as coach. The Czech great helped Murray finally become a major champion, and a Wimbledon champion a year later, but the pair split in March and Murray has been without a coach since. With another Wimbledon coming up, the defending champion said there was a 50-50 chance he would have a new coach in place by the time the tournament starts on June 23. But he wasnt even too sure about that. "I dont know. I dont know," Murray said, shaking off a reporters question as he tried to shake off the defeat. "I would hope to have someone in place. I dont know." Joe Klecko Jersey .Y. - OK, it is done. LeVeon Bell Jersey . Finlands Kari Lehtonen made 26 saves to lead Dallas over the Phoenix Coyotes 2-1 Saturday night.

The Hawks have opened up a four-game cushion in the Eastern Conference over the Chicago Bulls, Washington Wizards and Toronto Raptors. Theyve won eight straight, 22 of 24 and eight in a row on the road, which is a single-season franchise record. This is the latest into the season Atlanta has led the conference since winning the East in the 1993-94 season. The road run is impressive and will be challenged as the Hawks embark on a four-game trip, starting Tuesday in South Philadelphia. On Sunday, the Hawks winning streak reached eight with a 120-89 home demolition of the Wizards. They were ahead by 10 after three quarters, then trounced the Wizards, 33-12, over the final 12 minutes. Kyle Korver hit 5-for-7 from long distance and led eight Hawks in double figures with 19 points. DeMarre Carroll gave 16 points with four steals, Al Horford netted 15 points and Jeff Teague had 11 with a game-high 10 assists for Atlanta. Its great for us to be able to win at home like that, said Horford. Pero Antic (12), Paul Millsap (11), Mike Scott (11) and Dennis Schroder (10) rounded out the double-figure scorers for the Hawks. Atlanta committed only nine turnovers against the Wizards, while Washington had 20. The Hawks also shot a blistering 551.dddddddddddd6 percent from beyond the 3-point arc. The Hawks will visit the Boston Celtics, Raptors and Bulls on this trip north. The Sixers are enjoying an honest-to-goodness, two-game winning streak. Thats happened only once before this season, but Philly is playing better ball as evidenced by three wins in its last four games. The Sixers, who toppled the Nets in Brooklyn on Friday, returned home Saturday night and knocked off the Indiana Pacers, 93-92. Michael Carter-Williams drove for the go-ahead basket with 9.9 seconds left in regulation and the Sixers held on for the victory. Carter-Williams finished with 15 points, the biggest two coming in crunch time when the reigning Rookie of the Year drove past three defenders and scooped in the deciding layup over the imposing Roy Hibbert. David West missed a contested fadeaway jumper from the top of the key just before the buzzer to seal the Sixers fifth win in their last 11 games. Tony Wroten added 20 points off the bench, and he and Carter-Williams both totaled nine assists. Robert Covington chipped in 16 points for the Sixers, who havent scored 100 points in regulation since Dec. 1. We play hard regardless (of our record), Wroten said. For us to come away (with a win) at home feels great. The Hawks beat the Sixers by 16 in Atlanta on Dec. 10 and have won five straight in the series. Philly is 4-2 in its last six as the host versus Atlanta.
