caught and bowled off Amy Satterthwaites right-arm medium pace, for 52 - her maiden ODI

LONDON -- He may have just been officially crowned world No. 1 for the first time in his career but it was business as usual for Andy Murray.I dont feel any different this week than I did the week before when I get up in the morning and stuff, he said at a news conference ahead of the World Tour Finals.Maybe when you step on court, you have a little more confidence, feel a little better about yourself when youre hitting balls and getting ready for the tournament.He spoke to his coach, Ivan Lendl, on the phone Saturday night in Paris, after Milos Raonics withdrawal from their semifinal confirmed he would finally overtake Novak Djokovic at the top of the rankings.[Lendl] congratulated me on getting to No. 1, said Murray.We started talking about the final the next day, what we were gonna do to prepare for this event. We didnt chat too long about the last few months. He had watched quite a few of my matches but when we got here it was back to work.There are things to improve and get better at. I like that. Its good. I dont need to be discussing the last few months -- I need to keep getting better. Thats what Ive always done when weve been working together.That determination to keep striving for the top is what drove Murray on to wipe out a deficit of more than 8,000 points and overhaul Djokovic at th etop of the rankings.It was another golden moment in a career which has seen him win the US Open, two Wimbledon titles, two Olympic gold medals and the Davis Cup.But the Scots achievements over the past five years have posed an uncomfortable question to British tennis -- where is the next Andy Murray coming from?When Im done playing, and my brother [Jamie] is finished playing, I hope that its good and its positive and that British tennis is in a better place than when we started, he said, before warning: I dont know if thats the case just now.Murray has previously hailed Kyle Edmund as the future of the mens game in Britain, and the 21-year-old reached a career-high ranking of 40 in October.Daniel Evans, 26, has also improved this year, reaching a career-high No. 53, and held match point against eventual champion Stan Wawrinka in the US Open third round.In the womens game, Johanna Konta has continued her steady progress and narrowly missed out on a place at the season-ending WTA finals in Singapore.But it is the apparent absence of a next generation -- and a seeming lack of knowledge of how to create one -- that is worrying for British tennis.I dont think you can create world No. 1s, said Murray. Its a really hard thing to achieve. Even with the best plans and structure in place, you dont guarantee youll get someone to win a Grand Slam or get to No. 1.Murray would certainly know, given the personal sacrifices he made to get to the top of the game. He left his family behind in Britain to train in Spain at the age of 15, where he says he went from practising four hours a week to more than that amount every day.He has kept that work ethic his whole career, and it finally drove him to top spot in the rankings at the age of 29 -- he is the oldest first-time No. 1 since John Newcombe (30) in 1974.Its not just about me. A lot of people involved in British tennis are responsible, said Murray, when asked about the legacy he will leave behind.Having consistent leadership and a consistent, clear plan for longer than three or four years at a time would certainly help. Since Ive been old enough to understand, thats whats happened -- there have always been new people coming after a few years, and change from whats been happening.Michael Downey joined the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) as chief executive in January 2014, succeeding Roger Draper in the role, who in turn had replaced John Crowther in 2006.There has been upheaval in other positions too, during Murrays professional career, with David Felgate sacked from his post as performance director in 2006, and his successor Jeremy Bates leaving the role less than a year later.Most recently, Bob Brett was appointed to the position in early 2014 but resigned in July 2015.You never find out whether somethings working or not, Murray continued Friday. It takes longer than a few years to change a system. Hopefully we can get some continuity. That would help.Change happens all the time, every few years. Whoever is leading, they leave, someone else comes in and does something completely different. Its difficult to leave a legacy in three or four years.Changing so often is not good. Its counterproductive. I just hope that whatever structures are in place just now are positive, that they work.Downey was on the receiving end of criticism from Murray and the Scots Davis Cup teammates last December after they ended Britains 79-year wait for the title; Murray had said he didnt want to waste my time talking to the LTA about the state of British tennis.The LTA have also previously been criticised for failing to capitalise on Murrays first Wimbledon triumph in 2013, with participation falling in the months following.Downey had also come under fire for closing down the National Tennis Centre (NTC) in Roehampton, London, as an elite training base, with the best British players below the ATP and WTA Tour level now based at leading local centres.

New Zealand women 162 for 3 (Bates 66, Devine 54) beat Pakistan women 158 (Zafar 52, Huddleston 4-20) by seven wicketsScorecard New Zealand womens bowling prowess came to the fore with right-arm medium pacer Holly Huddleston taking 4 for 20 before half-centuries from Suzie Bates and Sophie Devine studded their seven-wicket win over Pakistan Women in the fourth ODI in Nelson.That meant New Zealand extended their dominance in the series to go 4-0 up with one match remaining, and more importantly, become the third team after Australia and England to seal a spot in next years Womens World Cup, leaving just one direct entry to be filled up.Pakistan, asked to make first use of a new surface at the Saxton Oval, stuttered to 158 in 48.1 overs, before New Zealand chased the total down with 165 balls remaining, having struck at well over seven an over.Bates dedicated the performance to victims of the earthquake that shook New Zealand on Monday. The match was preceded by a minutes silence and players of both teams wore black armbands. We wanted to pay our respects after a challenging and tragic week for New Zealand, she said. Its been a tough week for some of the players who are based in Christchurch too, along with everyone else, and we wanted to go out and play some cricket to take our minds off that and honour those people who are really struggling at the moment.Early signs did not point to such a one-sided contest, however, as Pakistan had got themselves into a strong position, scoring 107 in the 28th over for the loss of just Nahida Khan for 16 in the 13th over.dddddddddddd But Ayesha Zafars dismissal, caught and bowled off Amy Satterthwaites right-arm medium pace, for 52 - her maiden ODI fifty - triggered a collapse with Pakistan losing their last nine wickets for 51 runs.Satterthwaite dismissed Bismah Maroof for a first-ball duck, but Javeira Khan denied her the hat-trick. Captain Sana Mir tried to keep the fight going with 31, but ran out of partners rapidly, and was the last batsman dismissed. Huddleston finished with 4 for 20 in 7.1 overs. Lea Tahuhu and Satterthwaite took two wickets each and were both economical, while Bates and Ameila Kerr took one each.New Zealand got off to a flier with Bates and Rachel Priest putting on 38 in 3.4 overs. Bates flayed Sadia Yousuf for five consecutive fours in the second over of the chase. Although Mir dismissed Priest with her fourth ball, it hardly slowed New Zealand down. Bates kept the carnage going in the company of Devine, promoted to No. 3, adding 94 in 14 overs.Bates biffed 66 off 52 balls and Devine struck 54 at just over a run a ball. Bates fell in the 18th over and Devine became Javeira Khans only victim less than three overs later, but with New Zealand needing just 17 and almost 30 full overs to play, it was too little too late for Pakistan.
