Adelaide coach Don Pyke suspects Geelong may face Greater Western Sydney in the AFL grand final, suggesting the week off still holds a lot of value.The Cats host Sydney at the MCG on Friday night, while GWS are up against Western Bulldogs at Spotless Stadium on Saturday.Pyke is in agreement with bookmakers, who have installed Geelong and GWS as favourites.Geelong and GWS both earned a week off following qualifying-final wins over Hawthorn and Sydney respectively.The addition of a pre-finals bye this year means both clubs will be short of match practice, having played one game in the space of almost four weeks.There has been speculation that might hurt the two leading premiership contenders but Pyke doesnt subscribe to that theory.Id look at the two teams that have had the week off in Geelong and GWS and say theyre probably the two leading ones to head into the grand final, Pyke said, when asked who will win the flag.Theyll be really interesting games I would have thought next weekend.The Bulldogs, the way theyre travelling they are certainly choc full of confidence. Its set up now for a pretty big preliminary final weekend.Pyke also praised the contested-ball work of the Swans, who ended the Crows season with a 36-point win in Saturday nights semi-final at the SCG.We knew Sydney would be keen to make amends (after losing to GWS), he said.Crows defender Rory Laird admitted his side were overwhelmed by Sydney in the opening quarter, when the hosts booted seven goals.Theyre a really quality side. Theres a reason they are minor premiers and we always knew after a disappointing loss that theyd come out firing, Laird said.Theyve got a very good midfield and their forwards went to work early and unfortunately we couldnt keep up at the start. That really hurt us in the long run. Lane Taylor Super Bowl Jersey .

GLASGOW, Scotland -- Juan Martin del Potro ended Andy Murrays 14-match winning streak in the Davis Cup, coming through a grueling five-setter to give Argentina a 1-0 lead over titleholder Britain in the semifinals on Friday.Del Potro won 6-4, 5-7, 6-7 (5), 6-3, 6-4 in 5 hours, 7 minutes to gain a measure of revenge after losing the Olympic final to Murray in Rio de Janeiro last month.Being taken the distance was exactly what Murray didnt need at the end of his long summer of tennis in which he won both the Wimbledon and Olympic titles for the second time. He looked almost out on his feet at times in an energy-sapping final set, and couldnt handle the barrage of forehand shots by the rejuvenated Del Potro.Del Potro gained the crucial break in the fifth set at the third opportunity, reaching Murrays volley with a forehand winner down the line to go 4-3 ahead, and he served out for the match, clinching victory with an ace and a big growl.Murray had nnever previously lost a home singles match in the Davis Cup.ddddddddddddArgentina is playing its 11th Davis Cup semifinal in 15 years.
