BEIJING -- Andy Murray won the China Open in Beijing on Sunday, defeating Grigor Dimitrov 6-4, 7-6 (2), in a hard-fought match that featured plenty of acrobatics from both players.Playing in his ninth final of the season, the top-seeded Scot broke Dimitrov in the first game of the first set and again in the fifth game of the second. Murray looked to have the match in the bag serving at 5-4, but the Bulgarian finally broke his serve, then held his own to force the tiebreaker.The finals victory was Murrays first in three attempts at the China Open, having reached the quarterfinals on his debut and the semifinals in 2014.Agnieszka Radwanska had an easier time of it in the womens final, handily defeating Johanna Konta 6-4, 6-2.The third-seeded Pole added to her 2011 victory in the Beijing tournament, notching up her 20th career title and third of 2016. She took the victory without dropping a set throughout the tournament.Radwanska broke Konta in the third game but then was broken back in the eighth before holding her service to take the first set.She established her dominance in the second set, breaking Konta twice before serving out for the win with an ace.That was a really special week for me, Radwanska said in post-match comments. I really played great tennis, especially against top players.Radwanska has now won both of the pairs encounters. She sealed the victory with just six unforced errors to Kontas 29.The 11th-seeded Konta was making her first Beijing appearance and had already assured herself of a place in the next WTA top-10 rankings -- the first British woman to do so since Jo Durie in 1984.I guess its pretty cool. Im very pleased with my progress over the last few years, and hopefully, yes, still many more places to climb, said Konta, who was making her first appearance in Beijing. But as of now Im really enjoying my journey, Im really enjoying working hard and really working towards playing matches like these against players like Agnieszka, so hopefully Ill have many more in the future.

He sat out the following game, a 108-107 win Saturday in Portland, before coming back to help send the Nuggets to their seventh consecutive loss. With the wild-card games out of the way, there are now four teams left in each league and 16 possible matchups for the World Series. Heres a list of them all -- and what would make each of them noteworthy.The matchups are listed in descending order of likelihood, using probability figures from Fangraphs.com heading into Thursdays action.--DODGERS vs. RED SOX (11.7 percent chance)Dave Roberts might still be able to dine for free in Boston after his role in the 2004 postseason for the Red Sox, but he manages Los Angeles now. These two franchises met in the World Series 100 years ago, when the Dodgers played in Brooklyn and were called the Robins. One can only imagine what Magic Johnson, a part owner of the Dodgers, would think about having to go through Boston to win a title in baseball.CUBS vs. RED SOX (10.1 percent)We were a fewplays from Baseball Armageddon in 2003, but the pennants slipped away from the Cubs and Red Sox. Since then, Boston has ended its long wait for a championship and added two more titles for good measure, so if the Red Sox do meet the Cubs in the World Series this year, the narrative figures to be less about dueling curses and more about Theo Epstein .DODGERS vs. BLUE JAYS (9.2 percent)Russell Martin received his first All-Star nod in 2007 when he was 24 and playing for the Dodgers. Three teams later, hes with the Blue Jays and remains one of the games more productive catchers.CUBS vs. BLUE JAYS (7.9 percent)This Original Six World Series between Chicago and Toronto would have the hockey fans -- and the Great Lakes enthusiasts -- excited.GIANTS vs. RED SOX (6.7 percent)Avert your eyes from this matchup if youd like to see some new blood in the World Series. Boston and San Francisco have won a combined six titles since 2004. The Red Sox and New York Giants met in the 1912 World Series, which went to a winner-take-all Game 8 because Game 2 had ended in a tie. Boston won in 10 innings with the help of a dropped fly by Fred Snodgrass.DODGERS vs. RANGERS (6.6 percent)A homecoming for Dallas native Clayton Kershaw, plus the potential for a head-to-head matchup between Yu Darvish and Japanese countryman Kenta Maeda.DODGERS vs. INDIANS (6.3 percent)Another tthrowback matchup: Cleveland and Brooklyn played a best-of-nine World Series in 1920 , with the Tris Speaker-led Indians prevailing in seven.ddddddddddddATIONALS vs. RED SOX (6.1 percent)This would have looked considerably more intriguing if Jonathan Papelbon were still on the Nationals.CUBS vs. RANGERS (5.7 percent)Has there ever been a World Series with a 90-degree game in one city and a snow delay in the other?CUBS vs. INDIANS (5.4 percent)In another year, the Indians might be huge sentimental favorites as they try to win their first World Series title since 1948, but good luck making that argument if this is the matchup.GIANTS vs. BLUE JAYS (5.3 percent)The Giants very nearly moved to Toronto in 1976, but they remained in the Bay Area after being bought by Bob Lurie. The Blue Jays played their first season as an expansion team in 1977.NATIONALS vs. BLUE JAYS (4.8 percent)Canadas team against the team that left. There would be some interested observers in Montreal, oui?GIANTS vs. RANGERS (3.8 percent)A rematch of the 2010 World Series, which the Giants won in five. Madison Bumgarner was 21 when he pitched in that postseason, blanking Texas for eight innings in Game 4.GIANTS vs. INDIANS (3.6 percent)Willie Mays and Vic Wertz . A 111-win Cleveland team going down in four straight . Theres lots of history here -- and if the Giants take a 3-1 lead in the series but have a key player suspended for Game 5, Bay Area fans might have a sinking feeling about what comes next.NATIONALS vs. RANGERS (3.5 percent)Washington fans old enough to remember the Senators are also old enough to remember where they moved after the 1971 season. Even Redskins-Cowboys would have to take a backseat to this D.C.-Texas rivalry for a couple weeks. Maybe.NATIONALS vs. INDIANS (3.3 percent)When the Nationals were still the Expos, they traded Cliff Lee, Grady Sizemore and Brandon Phillips to the Indians for Bartolo Colon. It was a lopsided trade in Clevelands favor -- but then again, Colon may end up outlasting them all .---Follow Noah Trister at www.Twitter.com/noahtrister ' ' '
