Milos Raonic showed no after-effects of a recent injury as he beat Gael Monfils in straight sets at the ATP World Tour Finals in London. Raonic withdrew from his Paris Masters semi-final against Andy Murray just over a week ago due to a torn quadricep and there had been fears he would not be able to complete his first match at The O2.However, the world No 4 dominated Monfils with his powerful serving and claimed a 6-3 6-4 victory in one hour, 24 minutes. Raonic reflects on his win over Monfils Shot of the matchIt may not have prevented him losing the opening set - or the match - but Monfils no-look drop shot was pure theatre. Monfils audacious no-look drop shot was the shot of the match Expert analysisPeter Fleming: Two questions succinctly answered by Milos Raonic: One, hes fit after his recent injury problems, and two, hes retained the form that took him to the semi-finals in Paris. He is a real threat. For Gael Monfils, it just didnt happen for him. He just needs to bring a little more artillery to the court.Greg Rusedski: The mix of serving, the aggression coming forward - the court suits him [Raonic]. People have asked me, Who can win this other than Andy and Novak? People have said Stan, but I now think Milos. Milos Raonic explains his serve at the Sky Pad after beating Gael Monfils The matchFears over Raonics fitness were swiftly allayed when he raced into a one-set lead thanks largely to wildly contrasting serving from the two players.While Raonic won 85 per cent of points on his first serve and 75 per cent on his second, Monfils won just 59 per cent on his first and dug an even deeper hole for himself by sending down two ill-timed double-faults. Monfils struggled with his serve against Raonic He finally kicked himself into life with a no-look drop shot and a jumping smash in the sixth game, but by then he was 4-1 down and the set was already all but lost.Monfils managed to get to 3-3 in the second set, but his serving continued to deteriorate - now down at just a 45 per cent success rate on his first serve - and Raonic decisively punished him by breaking in the seventh game.Watch every day of the ATP World Tour Finals, from November 13-20, live on Sky Sports.

In an interview with Fox Sports televised Sunday, Incognito said he never took the threat seriously. Incognito said he regrets the racist and profane language he used with Martin, but said it stemmed from a culture of locker-room "brotherhood," not bullying. "A week before this went down, Jonathan Martin texted me on my phone -- I will murder your whole ... family," Incognito said, quoting Martin as using a profanity. "Now did I think Jonathan Martin was going to murder my family? Not one bit. ... I knew it was coming from a brother. I knew it was coming from a friend. I knew it was coming from a teammate. That just puts in context how we communicate with one another." Responding to the interview, Martins attorney tweeted the message Incognito quoted. The message was accompanied by two photos of a laughing woman holding a dog, suggesting it was intended as a joke. "JMarts text 2 Richie Incognito. U decide....." attorney David Cornwell tweeted. That was the only response by Cornwell or Martins agent to requests from The Associated Press for comment on Incognitos interview. Incognito said Martin also sent him a friendly text four days after leaving the team to undergo counselling for emotional issues. The message came on the heels of the Dolphins overtime victory against Cincinnati. "Wassup man? The worlds gone crazy lol. Im good tho congrats on the win," Martin said in a text verified by Fox Sports. "Yeah Im good man. Its insane bro but just know I dont blame you guys at all. Its just the culture around football and the locker room got to me a little." Martin left the team two weeks ago, and Cornwell alleges the second-year pro was harassed daily by teammates, including Incognito. Martin hasnt spoken publicly but will discuss the case late next week with a special investigator hired by the league. "This isnt an issue about bullying," Incognito told Fox. "This is an issue of my and Jons relationship. You can ask anyone in the Miami Dolphins locker room who had Jon Martins back the absolute most, and theyll undoubtedly tell you me.dddddddddddd "All this stuff coming out, it speaks to the culture of our locker room, it speaks to culture of our closeness, it speaks to the culture of our brotherhood." Incognitos phone showed 1,142 text messages between the two players over the past year, Fox reported. The network said Incognito declined to answer only one question: Did coaches order him to toughen up Martin? The NFL will investigate the role of coach Joe Philbin, his staff and Miami management in the case. The Dolphins (4-4) play for the first time since Incognito was suspended when they face Tampa Bay (0-8) on Monday night. Incognito is white and Martin is biracial. Teammates both black and white have said Incognito is not a racist, and theyve been more supportive of the veteran guard than they have of Martin. Incognito acknowledged leaving a voicemail for Martin in April in which he used a racist term, threatened to kill his teammate and threatened to slap Martins mother. "When I see those words come up across the screen, Im embarrassed," said Incognito, adding that Martin used the same racist term "a lot." "Im embarrassed by my actions. But what I want people to know is the way Jonathan and the rest of the offensive line and our teammates communicate. Its vulgar. Its not right. ... I understand why a lot of eyebrows get raised when people dont know how Jon and I communicate to one another." Incognito said he never sensed that football or the locker-room culture were getting to Martin. "As his best friend on the team, thats what has me miffed -- how I missed this," Incognito said. "I never saw it coming." Long labeled one of the NFLs dirtiest players, Incognito acknowledged his reputation for out-of-bounds behaviour -- and the impact the much-quoted, threatening voicemail has had on his image. "It sounds terrible. It sounds like Im a racist pig. It sounds like Im a meathead. It sounds a lot of things that its not. ... If you go just by all the knucklehead stuff Ive done in the past, youre sitting in your home and thinking, This guy is a loose cannon. This guy is a terrible person. This guy is a racist. That couldnt be farther from the truth." Incognito said if he met with Martin and his family, he would apologize for anything they took as malicious.
