The Canadian had 27 aces in his first-round win over Daniel Brands of Germany but just three against Murray.It was a tricky match to start with. He serves well and is a quick mover, Murray said.

And its always different to play indoors ... the match couldve definitely been a lot closer.Murray decided only last Friday to accept a wild card as he is chasing points in order to qualify for the ATP Finals in London next month.Hopefully, I can improve for my next game, the Scot said after his 470th career win.

I felt like overall I played well from the baseline, but my serve let me down for sure, said Pospisil. I cant remember when I had so many double-faults and such a low first-serve percentage.Other than that it was a good match. I had chances in both sets but Andy played well when he had to.Pospisil, the world No. 44, fell to 19-21 on the season.He will return to action next week at the Swiss Indoors. Pospisil reached the semifinals last year in Basel before falling to Swiss star Roger Federer.My goal is to try and finish the season strong, Pospisil said. Both Basel and Paris are big events with a lot of opportunities. I want to get in some good matches and hopefully play well.Murray next plays Jan-Lennard Struff of Germany, who won the last seven points in the third-set tiebreaker to beat Sergiy Stakhovsky of Ukraine 7-6 (6), 2-6, 7-6 (3).David Ferrer advanced to his 15th quarterfinal of the season after defeating Tobias Kamke of Germany 7-5, 6-1.

The Canadiens had a mock game day on Monday, complete with a morning skate at their practice facility. They were scheduled to play a simulated game in the evening against mostly call-ups from the AHLs Hamilton Bulldogs at the Bell Centre. The team has been off since completing a sweep of the Tampa Bay Lightning in the first round of the NHL playoffs on April 22. They are not expected to begin the second round against the rival Boston Bruins until Thursday or Friday, which would make for a break of nine or 10 days between playoff games. The Canadiens hope the intrasquad gaame will help keep the rust off.dddddddddddd Rugged winger Brandon Prust said they would play at a good pace while being mindful of avoiding injuries. "Its a question of being smart," Prust said. "We want to skate hard and be hard on the puck and be physical. "Its a game-like situation, but no ones going to be running around trying to kill people. At the same time, youre blocking shots and guys are shooting the puck hard and youre battling for pucks. Its going to be good for us." The game was to be closed to the public and media. Coach Michel Therrien also gave his players a day off on Tuesday. The Canadiens were off the first two days after the sweep but resumed practising on Friday. ' ' '
