LONDON -- The Murray brothers bid to dominate the year-end rankings is still on.Jamie Murray and Bruno Soares place in the doubles semifinals at the O2 Arena was confirmed Thursday evening after taking the first set against Ivan Dodig and Marcelo Melo, in a match they went on to win 6-3, 3-6, 10-6.But they wont even have to hit another ball to finish the season as the No. 1-ranked doubles team, if French duo Nicolas Mahut and Pierre-Hugues Herbert -- who have already been eliminated -- lose their final round robin match Friday.Which way would they prefer to do it? Dont really care, said Murray, smiling.No, I care. Finish for us tomorrow. Its easier, laughed Soares.Thats true, concurred Jamie.I dont know actually. Im joking, continued the Scots Brazilian partner. So whatever happens happens. We got to do our thing here. before wanting to be No. 1, we want to win the tournament. By that we got to win the semifinals. Thats what were here for. We have to focus on our side. I think its the most important thing.It has been an incredible year for the Murray brothers, with Andy winning a third major at Wimbledon, retaining his Olympics title and ending Djokovics 122-week reign at the top of the singles rankings.Jamie did something in 2016 Andy has never accomplished, however, winning two majors in a single year -- he and Soares lifted both the Australian Open and US Open doubles titles.The job is far from over, though, especially for Andy, who could face a winner-takes-all shootout in Sundays final against Djokovic for the year-end No. 1 singles ranking.It was probably harder for Andy than us because Djokovic was winning everything, Jamie said when reflecting on the season. To get past him was going to take a monumental effort to do that.Doubles was a lot more open, I felt. A lot of the teams very close in level. The French guys kind of dominated for a while, especially the first half of the season. But we won the right tournaments that kept us in the hunt for it. We got a chance this week. Well be doing our best over the weekend to make that happen.Jamie also revealed his father will be coming down from Scotland to watch on what could be an historic weekend for his two sons.The opportunity to have the chance to do it is something special, he continued. Im sure the three of us are going to do our best over the next three or four days to try to be there at the end of it.We get good crowd support. That obviously helps. I would hope that we would be more supported than other players because its in our backyard.Its nice for us to play in London, in the UK, in front of friends, family, our people. It always gives you that extra edge, I think. Vapormax Herre Tilbud .

BOURBONNAIS, Ill. -- The Chicago Bears had just completed their first training camp practice and Kevin White could not contain his joy.Considering how his rookie season went, its not hard to see why.Healthy after missing his first year because of a fractured shin, White is ready to show why the Bears drafted him with the No. 7 overall pick in 2015 and join Alshon Jeffery in what the team believes will be a dynamic tandem at wide receiver.I was so excited, White said Thursday. Kind of like a kid in the candy store. Last year I was very, very frustrated, a lot of stress. And this year Im kind of out there having fun and Im able to contribute.The Bears are expecting big things from Jeffery and White as the team tries to pull itself up after finishing last in the NFC North at 6-10 in coach John Fox and general manager Ryan Paces first season. The work resumed Thursday with the first training camp practice, and it was an eventful one.First-round draft pick Leonard Floyd left on a cart because of a stomach illness and guard Kyle Long came up hobbling near the end. He slammed his helmet to the ground on the sideline and was later seen with a walking boot on his left leg.Floyd, the No. 9 overall pick, has been sick the past few days but plans to practice on Friday. The Bears are counting on the outside linebacker from Georgia to boost a defense that tied for 22nd in sacks and a woeful 30th in interceptions last season.His development along with Whites will go a long way toward determining whether Paces regime is ultimately a success. The Bears need to build a solid young core after years of spotty drafting under former general managers Jerry Angelo and Phil Emery.Pace took the 6-foot-3 White with the seventh overall pick in the 2015 draft thinking the West Virginia standout would form a top duo with the 6-3 Jeffery. Instead, White started experiencing pain in his left shin during organized team activities a year ago. The team thought rest and therapy would cure it, but he wasnt ready for the start of camp.One day after he started running on grass for the first time, he felt pain and got hit with the worst-case scenario. He had surgery and missed his rookie season.Jeffery was hardly a picture of health last year and wound up being limited to nine games because of calf, hamstring, groin and shoulder problems.ddddddddddddThe succession of injuries raised questions about his offseason regimen and durability even though he played in every game the previous two years.He had a great offseason last year, Fox said Thursday. Thats one of the perplexing things. When he injured his calf the first time was actually working as a scout (team) member running plays of our opponent in preseason. It was just kind of a freak thing. It was unfortunate for him and us.There were more questions about Jeffery this offseason after he stayed away from the teams voluntary organized activities. He was unable to agree to a contract extension after the Bears placed the franchise tag on him in free agency and will play this season for $14.6 million. Pace insisted the negotiations were friendly the whole time and theres no ill will.Honestly, I feel really good about where hes at right now and kind of where were at, Pace said.Jeffery basically deflected questions about the negotiations, saying he let his agent handle the negotiations. He also said he is blessed.And Pace said: We can revisit it after the season. But Im optimistic. Hes a talented player. He knows he has to stay healthy. And well see going forward.The more immediate issue for the Bears is molding Jeffery and White into the dynamic combination the team hoped to have last season.White spent plenty of time with Jay Cutler in both Lake Forest and at the quarterbacks home in Tennessee, hoping to develop a rapport and a greater understanding of the system in the offseason.Sometimes I try to (ease) into the route sometimes and play like a little tempo game, White said. He just told me to get up on them quick. He can obviously throw the ball, let the ball out, a little quicker and help put some pressure on the DBs.Cutler called sitting out last season a big miss for White but added: Hes so physically gifted I think hes gonna make it up really, really quickly.---Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
