LONDON -- Andy Murray was denied his 20th successive win on grass when he was beaten 7-6 (10), 6-2 by Radek Stepanek in the third round at Queens Club on Thursday. Murray, the defending champion and No. 3 seed, claimed his first match win at Queens in 2005 and went on to win the Wimbledon warmup three times. But he failed to take advantage of eight set points after leading the first-set tiebreaker 6-2, and Stepanek survived to convert with his second set point. A break to lead 1-0 in the second set put Stepanek firmly on the road to victory, and a further break to lead 5-2 left him serving for only his second win over Murray in seven meetings. Murrays last defeat on grass was against Roger Federer in the 2012 Wimbledon final. Since then, he had won the 2012 London Olympics which was played at Wimbledon, and the 2013 Queens and Wimbledon titles. "I have only got myself to blame that I lost the first set," Murray said. "I dont know how many set points I had, but quite a lot of them were on my serve. On this surface, especially, you shouldnt really be losing sets like that. For me, thats whats disappointing really about the match. "And then, yeah, unfortunately got broke in the first game of the second set. I couldnt quite get it back." Despite his defeat, the Roland Garros semifinalist has no concerns as he heads toward the defence of his Wimbledon title. "I dont think so," he said. "I need to spend time on the courts practicing some things. You know, the difference between this year and last year is I played a lot of matches the last couple of weeks at the French Open. Since the Monday before the French Open, I have played every single day bar one up to now. "Last year, I probably had about a week, 10 days preparation on the grass before I started here. This year, I had two days. Im going to take a couple of days off, watch some of the World Cup." Top seed and Australian Open champion Stanislas Wawrinka took just 50 minutes to ease past American Sam Querrey 6-2, 6-2, and second-seeded Tomas Berdych overcame solid resistance from Frenchman Adrian Mannarino, winning 7-6 (2), 6-4. Mannarino fought off 17 break points, including four set points at 6-5 in the first set, before Berdych broke on his 18th break point to lead 2-1 in the second. Berdych will next face Feliciano Lopez after the Spanish left-hander defeated Frenchman Kenny De Schepper 7-6 (3), 6-7 (4), 7-6 (3) in a match with no breaks of serve. Fifth seed and 2011 finalist Jo-Wilfried Tsonga was beaten 6-2, 6-4 by Marinko Matosevic. The Australian, who reached the final of a grass-court challenger last week and upset 2012 champion Marin Cilic in the first round, is coached by Hall of Famer Mark Woodforde There were victories, too, for fourth-seeded Grigor Dimitrov of Bulgaria, who defeated Edouard Roger-Vasselin of France 7-6 (3), 6-4, and seventh-seeded South African Kevin Anderson who edged Ukraines Sergiy Stakhovsky 6-3, 3-6, 7-6 (4).

After getting shut out in St. Louis on Monday, the Avalanche have needed to go past regulation to pick up home victories over the Philadelphia Flyers and Edmonton Oilers. They beat the Flyers in overtime, then used shootout goals from Matt Duchene and Alex Tanguay to top the Oilers 2-1 on Friday. Duchene used a deke and scored on his forehand to open the second round of the tiebreaker. Ben Scrivens then bit on a deke by Tanguay, who hung on to the puck before firing it over the Oilers netminder. Semyon Varlamov made 27 saves before stopping both Edmonton attempts in the shootout, helping Colorado win its fifth in the past seven games. Duchene also set up Daniel Briere for Colorados lone goal in regulation. After circling the Edmonton net, Duchene sent a backhand pass across to Briere, who tapped the puck into an open net at 7:55 of the second period. Its a luxury to play with a guy like Matt, Briere said. He is so strong with the puck, especially behind the net. The goal was all his work. Colorado, though, was outshot 12-3 in the third period while allowing Edmonton to tie the game. The Avalanche will hhope for a better finish in this game and are likely to start Varlamov, who is 5-2-1 in his career versus the Blue Jackets with a 1.dddddddddddd85 goals against average, .939 save percentage and two shutouts. The Blue Jackets were in action on Saturday night and were routed 6-3 by the hosting Arizona Coyotes, who went ahead for good thanks to a three-goal second period. Fedor Tyutin, James Wisniewski and Ryan Johansen all tallied for the Blue Jackets, who opened up a four-game road trip by having their two-game win streak halted. Johansen has two goals and four assists over a six-game point streak. Sergei Bobrovsky surrendered six goals on 31 shots in defeat. Curtis McElhinney stopped all three shots fired his way over 14:57 of relief. (The battle to compete) was not there, Blue Jackets coach Todd Richards said. It was not at the level it needed to be to go out and win a hockey game. It is unknown if Richards will go back to Bobrovsky tonight or give McElhinney the start. Bobrovsky is 3-1-1 lifetime versus the Avs with a 2.51 GAA and .903 save percentage, while McElhinney is 2-2-0 with a 3.26 GAA and .888 save percentage in this matchup. Columbus lost both of its meetings last season with the Avalanche and has lost six of its past nine in Colorado. ' ' '
