Andy Murray would welcome a change of format in the Davis Cup but is less enthusiastic about proposals for finals to be staged at a neutral venue.The International Tennis Federation announced plans to alter the current set-up of Davis Cup and Fed Cup finals, one of which is to invite bids from national associations and cities interested in hosting finals.With the neutral venue, I am not sold on that, said Murray. I do love the home and away atmosphere that we get in the Davis Cup just now.It is something that we as tennis players arent really used to because when we travel around the world we are playing in neutral venues a lot of the time and the home and away aspect of the Davis Cup is something that I enjoy and makes it different and special.The ITF is also proposing a final four event for the Fed Cup, which would involve the semifinals and final being played in quick succession.Other proposals include reviewing the best-of-five-sets format currently used in the Davis Cup.Murray picked up a thigh injury playing three rubbers in three days as Britain lost to Argentina in the Davis Cup semifinal last weekend.Speaking ahead of a charity exhibition match on Wednesday night at Glasgows Hydro Arena, the 29-year-old was asked about the proposals for change:He said: I like the idea of changing the format, maybe shorten the weekend.For me personally the last three days, coming off the back of the Olympics, Cincinnati, the US Open and then being on court for 10 or 11 hours over three days, was really hard.A lot of the players have spoken about that, about potentially shortening the format, maybe playing it over Saturday and Sunday, best of three sets, I like that idea.Certainly to try something different. If it doesnt work you can always change back as well.A lot of the top players have spoken about the scheduling and format of the Davis Cup for a number of years and nothing has changed so trying something new would give the event a lift for sure in terms of the participation of the top players.The Fed Cup World Group, meanwhile, would be doubled in size from eight teams to 16 in line with the Davis Cup, with all changes needing to be approved at the ITFs AGM in August 2017.Murray, meanwhile, will take a break after tonights event which sees him take on Grigor Dimitrov in a singles match before teaming up with his brother Jamie to play the Bulgarian and Tim Henman in a doubles match.Money raised will go to UNICEF and a Glasgow charity, Young Peoples Futures.The Scotsman said of his injury: It is all right. It is a little bit sore but I am okay.I just think my body just needs a break now so after tonights event I will give myself a few days off to rest up and recover.I feel okay. I certainly feel a lot better than I did on Sunday, after 48 hours or so of rest.The world number two believes the charity event at the sold-out 10,000-capacity arena will further encourage youngsters to get involved in the sport.He said: It is very important. The Davis Cup as well has been great in doing that.Kids who havent watched tennis before who come along to the Davis Cup and see it is such an incredible amazing atmosphere there that will help them get into it and enjoy it.Tonight is the same thing, we want to have a great time and play some fun, entertaining tennis.We have had some fantastic support. I am very proud to have brought a tennis event here.All the money raised will be going to charity and that is why we wanted to set it up in the first place, hopefully we can raise a lot of money and make a difference to a lot of childrens lives.PA Sport contributed to this article.Nike Shoes China . -- The proud fathers huddled near the Dallas Stars dressing room, smiling, laughing and telling stories while wearing replica green sweaters of their sons team.

Fake Nike Shoes From ChinaTUCSON, Ariz. -- Arizona had one of its most difficult seasons in program history, on and off the field.The Wildcats played with heavy hearts all year following the death of a teammate. They endured more injuries than maybe any team in the country. They matched their longest losing streak in 117 years of football, dropping eight straight, and finished with their worst record since 2003.But as the season wound to a close with Friday nights 56-35 win over rival Arizona State, the Wildcats were able to walk off the Arizona Stadium field with a small sense of joy and a glimmer of hope for next season.It certainly doesnt make up for a tough season, but its a great night, Arizona coach Rich Rodriguez said. Its a great night to be a Wildcat.Tough is an understatement.The season started with grief when fifth-year senior Zach Hemmila, projected to be the starting center, died in his sleep on Aug. 8. Hemmilas death, later ruled to be caused by a mix of medications, left the Wildcats with a hole on the line and a bigger one in their hearts.Once the season started, Arizonas injury report became a primary point of focus each week as one player after another went down.Quarterback Anu Solomon started the opener against Brigham Young, but injured his knee in practice the following week. Brandon Dawkins took over and he started getting hit with injuries.Arizona ended up having five players throw a pass and was forced to use a third-string tight end at quarterback at one point.The problems stretched to the rest of the offensive backfield.Arizona was already thin at running back with the dismissal of Orlando Bradford because of domestic violence charges. Then starter Nick Wilson went out with injury. Freshman J.J. Taylor was electric in Wilsons place, but broke his ankle against Washington on Sept. 24 and was done foor the season.ddddddddddddThe injuries took a toll on Arizonas quick-hitting offense. Typically one of the nations most prolific teams, the Wildcats finished 66th in the FBS in total yards and 99th in scoring.Defense was what really hurt Arizona.The Wildcats have struggled on that side of the ball since Rodriguez arrived and seemed to take a step back this season.Lacking playmakers or depth, Arizona finished 114th of 128 FBS teams in total defense, allowing 469.3 yards per game, and were 118th in scoring at 38.3 points per game.Weve made some mistakes in recruiting and probably havent recruited like we really needed to. I saw it coming, Rodriguez said. It gets exacerbated when you get a few guys banged up.The deficiencies on both sides of the ball led to one of the ugliest stretches in Arizona history.After winning two of their first three games, the Wildcats lost eight straight, matching the 2003 team for longest in school history. Arizona finished 3-9 and had to beat Arizona State in its final game to avoid the first winless conference season since 1957.But for that one night, the Wildcats looked like the team Rodriguez had envisioned when the season started.Though working from a huddle for the first time -- to prevent Arizona State from stealing signs -- Arizona was at its quick-hitting best again. The Wildcats had three touchdowns of at least 60 yards and racked up a school-record 511 rushing yards to crush their rivals in the seniors final game in an Arizona uniform.We needed this win bad, Dawkins said.Now its on to the offseason to heal up and fill some of those holes on defense.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 ' ' '
