Andy Murray must keep improving next season if he wants to stay at No. 1, according to Britains Davis Cup captain Leon Smith.Murray ended Novak Djokovics 122-week reign at the top of the rankings earlier this month, and fended off the Serb from the year-end No. 1 spot by beating him in the World Tour final in London.You can imagine what his pre-season will be like, Smith told The Herald of his fellow Scot. He will absolutely work his socks off and try to get better again.Now he is No.1 he has got to work out how to stay there and improve again. It never ends, never stops.Murray will get his 2017 season underway 630 points ahead of Djokovic at the Qatar Open on Jan. 2, and could be set for a lengthy stay at No. 1.In the first six months of the year, Djokovic must defend titles from Doha, the Australian Open, Indian Wells, Miami, Madrid and Roland Garros after a dominant start to 2016 -- indeed, he held a lead of more than 8,000 points over Murray after beating him in the French Open final on June 5.However, it was just five months later to the day that Murray -- who first reached the No. 2 ranking in August 2009 -- ensured he would overtake the Serb by making the Paris Masters semifinals, in the midst of a career-best 24-match win streak that took in five consecutive titles.That run capped off a remarkable season that also saw the Scot win a third major at Wimbledon, retain his Olympic gold in Rio and claim nine titles overall. His older brother Jamie Murray also had the best season of his career, winning two Grand Slams and finishing as the year-end doubles No. 1 with Brazilian partner Bruno Soares.What I find amazing is how much you have to put in to move from No. 2 to No. 1, added Smith. You can go on an unbelievable run and go from No. 100 or whatever but to go from two to one, it was 21 matches in a row at that level of the sport, just to move one place.The bit that takes you from two to one is being prepared to ask, What do I need to do to make sure I get better? I am hugely impressed about how he [Murray] keeps developing his game and Jamie is the same when you watch him operate on court and off the court. He has really committed to everything he has to do to make himself the best. Cincinnati Reds Gear .875,000, avoiding arbitration.

"Hes going to have hip surgery on Jan. 7, and hell be expected to rehabilitate for four to six months beyond that," Canucks general manager Mike Gillis said Friday in an interview. AFL legend Leigh Matthews wants the pre-finals bye to continue, saying it deserves another chance.But he is a dissenting voice, with Fremantle coach Ross Lyon notably joining the growing call for the concept to be scrapped.The preliminary final results have given the leagues anti-bye camp plenty of ammunition.Geelong and the Giants lost the prelims after only playing once in just under four weeks.The bye weekend before the finals was introduced to make sure teams did not rest players en masse in round 23.And Matthews, who was part of eight premiership teams as a player and coach, said the concept should go ahead again next season.He noted that the top eight was extremely tight this season, with only two games and percentage separating minor premiers Sydney from the seventh-placed Western Bulldogs.Id give that another go, Matthews told Channel Sevens Game Day.Whats confusing is remember, the Bulldogs won 15 games - they finished seventh, but they won 15 games.Lyon is just as adamant that the pre-finals bye should go.He said it took away too much from the well-established advantagee of finishing in the top four and the double chance that comes with it.ddddddddddddWere creatures of habit - mans made to work, Lyon told Fox Footy on Friday night.Once you break that cycle, its impossible to recreate an AFL senior game and youve got to be rewarded for winning the most games, the top four.Four-time premiership coach Alastair Clarkson has also voiced his opposition, calling the concept a massive curve ball for the finals.The Bulldogs are the first team in AFL history to make the grand final from seventh.Defender Dale Morris said the pre-finals bye were a massive boost for them.But Morris, like many players, does not want it to continue.It definitely did help us - we had some guys in Jackson Macrae and Libba (Tom Liberatore) who really benefitted from the bye, Morris said.The debate will go on and on, whether it hindered the two teams who did have it.My preference would be to play through without the bye, but well do whatever it takes.
