LONDON-- With three of the four grand slam titles and a record six Masters Series crowns scooped up in a year of domination, Novak Djokovic could be forgiven for using the ATP Tour Finals in London as a well-earned lap of honour.
  Not a bit of it.
  The 28-year-old world number one's appetite for stomping all over his supposed rivals is insatiable.
  Serbian Djokovic will start as overwhelming favourite to claim a fourth consecutive title at the year-ender, having won 14 matches in a row at the Thames-side venue where last year ended in anti-climactic fashion as Roger Federer withdrew from their showdown with a back injury.
  The numbers Djokovic has compiled this year surpass even his dominant 2011 campaign when he also won three majors.
  He will arrive with a 78-5 win/loss record and on a 22-match winning streak, stretching back to his defeat by Federer in the Cincinnati final in August.
  He has owned the number one ranking since July 2014 and he will end the year there for a fourth time -- the same as John McEnroe and Ivan Lendl.
  "In terms of the grand slams, this has been a better season than 2011," Djokovic, who would have won all four but for an inspired Stanislas Wawrinka in the French Open final, said in an interview with Sport Magazine.
  "It's about the overall feeling of my game -- the way I play and the way I feel on the court. I'm a more complete player physically; technically I've improved since 2011, and mentally I'm more stable."
  Worryingly, no one seems to have a clue how to stop him.
  World number two Andy Murray, who is juggling the Tour Finals on home soil with trying to win the Davis Cup for Britain for the first time since 1936 the week after, has lost 10 of his last 11 matches against Djokovic.
  Murray failed to survive the round-robin stage last year when he was demolished by Federer.
  Since losing to Djokovic in last week's Paris Masters final he has practised mainly on clay in readiness for Davis Cup duty in Ghent.
  He was, however, placed in the easier-looking group in Thursday's draw, avoiding Federer and Djokovic.
  Federer, 34, always puts on a show in London -- having reached the final four times since the event moved from Shanghai in 2009, winning twice.
  Unlike last year when several new faces qualified, this year's eight are the usual suspects, with Japan's Kei Nishikori the least experienced on his second appearance.
  A rejuvenated Rafael Nadal is back after missing out last year through injury and while still not quite the formidable foe he was at his peak the Spaniard will relish testing his improvement against Murray and Wawrinka in group play.
  David Ferrer and Tomas Berdych will do well to reach the semis, Wawrinka could be the dark horse after reaching the last four in 2013 and last year when he lost an epic to Federer.

COLOMBO-- West Indies ended their dismal tour of Sri Lanka with a consolation victory after Dwayne Bravo's all-round brilliance secured a series-levelling 23-run win in the second and final Twenty20 International on Wednesday.
  Blanked in the preceding test and one-day series and beaten in the first Twenty20 International on Monday, West Indies posted 162-6 before bowling out the hosts for 139 to salvage a bit of pride.
  Bravo blasted a run-a-ball 31 before returning to claim four wickets at the R Premadasa Stadium.
  For Sri Lanka, Tillakaratne Dilshan top-scored with a breezy 52, and Shehan Jayasuriya made 30 before Ravi Rampaul (3-20) and Bravo wrecked their middle and lower order.
  Opting to bat first, West Indies made a quiet start, managing 17 runs off the first four overs before plundering 44 of the next two.
  Johnson Charles (34) clobbered off-spinner Sachithra Senanayake for three consecutive sixes and followed up with a boundary off the final ball of the over.
  His opening partner Andre Fletcher (23) hit Dushmantha Chameera for three boundaries in the next over before Milinda Siriwardana trapped him lbw.
  Marlon Samuels paid the price for his lax running in the same over as West Indies lost four quick wickets to lose momentum.
  Bravo chipped in with a quickfire cameo and Denesh Ramdin remained not out on 34 to take the visitors past the 150-mark.
  Sri Lanka skipper Lasith Malinga produced excellent death bowling again, claiming two wickets for 16 runs in four tidy overs.

Trailing by nine points after three quarters, the Chicago Bears rallied to beat San Diego 22-19 on Monday, handing the Chargers (2-7) a fifth consecutive loss.

Chicago (3-5) quarterback Jay Cutler hit tight end Zach Miller for a 25-yard touchdown with 3:19 left, and running back Jeremy Langford rushed over for the two-point conversion to open up the three-point cushion, the Bears' first lead of the night.

The Chargers' skid is their longest since they dropped six in a row in 2011.

Culter completed 27 of 40 passes for 345 yards and two touchdowns. He also lost a fumble and was intercepted once. Bears receiver Alshon Jeffery caught 10 passes for 151 yards.

Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers was 26-for-42 passes for 280 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions. It was the first time he did not throw for at least 300 yards in six games.

San Diego running back Danny Woodhead produced 111 total yards and a touchdown.

Kicker Josh Lambo's second field goal, this one from 22 yards, increased the Chargers' lead to 19-14 with eight minutes to play. Before Lambo's kick, San Diego had a touchdown pass from Rivers to tight end Antonio Gates wiped away when right guard D.J. Fluker was flagged for being downfield.

The Bears pulled within 16-14 with 14 minutes remaining on Langford's one-yard touchdown run. It capped a 93-yard, 15-play drive in which Chicago converted four third downs, the final one on rookie Langford's score.

Lambo's 31-yard field goal in the half's waning seconds pushed the Chargers' advantage to 16-7.

The Bears sliced their deficit to 13-7 when Cutler clicked with tight end Martellus Bennett on a 1-yard pass midway through the second quarter.

Earlier in the quarter, Chicago cornerback Tracy Porter stripped wide receiver Dontrelle Inman of the ball, and it was recovered by linebacker Christian Jones, with the Bears taking over at the San Diego 41-yard line.

Two plays later, though, cornerback Jason Verrett went 68 yards for a pick-six and a 13-0 Chargers advantage. Lambo missed the point after. It was Verrett's first touchdown and second interception of his career off Cutler's second turnover of the first half.

The Bears appeared poised to score late in the first quarter, when they advanced to the Chargers' 10-yard line. However, Chicago retreated 5 yards on an offside penalty, then linebacker Melvin Ingram sacked Cutler and forced a fumble, which was recovered by safety Eric Weddle. The Chargers weren't able to convert the turnover into points.

The Chargers struck first after Gould was wide left on a 47-yard field goal attempt to end the game's first possession. Gould also missed from 34 yards in the third quarter.

Rivers found Woodhead for a 14-yard scoring pass and a 7-0 lead. Woodhead ran a wheel route from the left side of the formation and was wide open for the score as the Bears bungled their zone coverage.
