World No 4 Milos Raonic meets Gael Monfils in Sundays evening session of the World Tour Finals. With Novak Djokovic expected to be the dominant force in the group, a win in their opening group game will set the tone for either Raonic or Monfils to advance to the last four, and a clash between the predictable power of Raonic and the flamboyant showmanship of Monfils should provide entertaining viewing. Ivan Lendl Group Novak Djokovic (Serbia) Milos Raonic (Canada) Gael Monfils (France) Dominic Thiem (Austria) The pair have met three times this year, Raonic has won twice but it was Monfils who got the better of things the last time they met in Canada. The Frenchman prevailed 6-4 6-4 that day, but Raonic was successful at Indian Wells and the Australian Open. Raonic has been a doubt in the build-up to London having withdrawn from his semi-final with Andy Murray in Paris last weekend with a torn quadricep, Tomas Berdych the first alternate remains on stand-by if the Canadian doesnt make it.It has been a memorable year for Raonic but could perhaps have been much more had it not been for injury. Raonic was beaten by Andy Murray in the Wimbledon final World Tour Finals: Profiles We run over the contenders for the title in London The 25-year-old began the year beating Roger Federer to claim the title in Brisbane, and he went on to reach the semi-final of the Australian Open when he led Andy Murray before injury struck to allow the new world No 1 to advance to the final in Melbourne.It was also the Scot who scuppered his chances of adding to his sole title of the year, Murray beating Raonic in the finals at Queens and Wimbledon.His fearsome serve looked like it was returning to its best in Paris last week before the quad problem, and it is his fitness that may hinder his hopes of success against the relentless Monfils, who is making his debut at the season-end event.The supremely-talented Frenchman is now 30 but has never made a Grand Slam final and has failed to deliver on the rich promise he showed as a junior, but this year has represented a breakthrough as he is now up to a career-best six the world rankings. Monfils has risen to a career-best sixth in the world rankings In July, he claimed his first ATP title since 2014 while he has reached the last eight in four of the Masters Series events including the final in Monte Carlo, his first at that level since 2010.Monfils leads the head-to-head between the pair 3-2 but with Djokovic also in the group, and having won every match he has played against the three other men in the group, a win will be crucial to any hopes of success.

This week, topics cover the Blue Jays rotation, the futures John Gibbons and Alex Anthopoulos, protecting pitchers and a bonus question on his predictions for the MLB playoffs. Danny Ainge Jersey . -- The Atlanta Braves added to their extensive wave of long-term deals with their young stars on Sunday by agreeing to a $42 million, four-year contract with All-Star closer Craig Kimbrel. SAN FRANCISCO -- It didnt take Tim Hudson very long to establish himself as the ace of the San Francisco Giants rotation. One month into the season, the three-time All-Star is looking just as sharp and crisp as ever. Not even a close play at first base that was eerily reminiscent to the one that resulted in a shattered right ankle last July was enough to rattle the right-hander. Hudson and Sergio Romo combined on a five-hitter and the Giants beat the San Diego Padres 3-2 on Wednesday night. "He just put on a clinic," San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy said. "He stayed down the whole game, had good movement, changed speeds and threw strike one. If you want to show young pitchers how to do it, thats how you do it." Hudson (4-1) struck out six and didnt walk a batter for the fourth time in five starts this season. The Giants most consistent starter in his first season with the club, Hudson has walked two batters in 46 innings. The 38-year-old was one pitch from recording his first shutout in nearly two years before Yasmani Grandals two-out home run in the ninth. "It was definitely an economical night," Hudson said after throwing 89 pitches. "I was able to get down in the strike zone and stay down in the zone, work ahead in the count. Guys were making some good plays behind me. It was a fun night for us." Brandon Hicks homered and Michael Morse drove in his team-leading 20th RBI for the Giants, who finished 5-1 on their homestand. Cameron Maybin doubled and scored for San Diego, which has lost 10 consecutive series at AT&T Park. Hudson allowed only one runner past second base until Grandals home run in the ninth, and had two stretches where he retired nine straight batters. The right-hander helped his cause at the plate with a single in the second and a key sacrifice bunt in the seventh that put the eventual winning run in scoring position. He also survived a scare while covering first base to take the throw from Brandon Belt and retire Jace Peterson to end the fifth. The play brought back memories of last season when Hudson collided with Eric Young of the New York Mets and suffered a gruesome season-ending ankle injury. "Im not as quick as I used to be getting to first," Hudson said. "That kid was getting down the line pretty good. The old guy had to put it into overdrive to beat him.dddddddddddd" Hudson was sharp early and needed only 19 pitches to retire the first seven batters. After giving up a one-out single to Peterson in the third, the three-time All-Star struck out San Diego pitcher Robbie Erlin and Everth Cabrera. The only other hits the Padres managed came on a two-out double by Grandal in the fourth, a single by Jedd Gyorko in the seventh and a leadoff double by Maybin in the eighth. Maybin scored on Alexi Amaristas groundout. "You cant let a guy like that get ahead in the count," Padres manager Bud Black said. "Hell really give you fits. Those pitches that were early count swings looked to me as though they were in good spots today. We just didnt hit them." The Giants, playing without leadoff hitter Angel Pagan and third baseman Pablo Sandoval, backed Hudson with just enough offence. Every starter except leadoff man Juan Perez had at least one hit. Hunter Pence singled, stole second and scored on Morses two-out double off the wall in right in the first. Hicks fifth home run of the season leading off the second made it 2-0. Erlin (1-4) pitched out of jams in the third and fourth but lost his fourth straight start. He left with two outs in the seventh, struck out five and walked one. Buster Poseys RBI single off reliever Dale Thayer drove in Joaquin Arias to put the Giants up 3-0. After Grandals homer cut San Franciscos lead to 3-2, Romo retired pinch-hitter Chris Denorfia for his seventh save. Pagan was given the night off to rest his sore right knee while the slumping Sandoval also rested. Sandoval went into the night batting just .177 with only six RBIs. NOTES: Gyorko was reinstated from the paternity leave list before the game. To make room, San Diego optioned Tommy Medica to Triple-A El Paso. ... Padres LF Carlos Quentin, on the 15-day DL with a bone bruise in his left knee, will re-join the big league club for a workout at Petco Park before Fridays game against Arizona. The team will then determine where Quentin goes to begin a rehab assignment. ... RHP Tim Lincecum (1-1), who starts the series opener, has a 2.99 ERA in 13 career starts against the Braves. ... RHP Andrew Cashner, San Diegos starter against Arizona, has a 0.81 ERA at Petco Park this season.
