The Houston Texans became the fourth team in as many weeks

The top of the AP Pro32 power rankings is a tough spot to hold.

The Houston Texans became the fourth team in as many weeks to sit first overall in the rankings. Fresh off an impressive victory at Denver to go 3-0 for the first time, Houston replaced San Francisco as the No. 1 team in voting Tuesday by 12 media members who regularly cover the NFL. Houston earned nine first-place votes and 380 points.

"Decisive win in Denver and big-time performance from Matt Schaub, losing part of his ear in the process," 2002 NFL MVPRich Gannon of CBS Sports and Sirius XM radio said.

Schaub lost a small portion of his left ear lobe when his helmet cut it on a hard hit.

This major tournament is the first since the 2004 French Open

''It was brutal,'' Murray said about the conditions during his 3-hour-58-minute match. ''Hard to describe. You had to focus for every single point. Some of the hardest conditions I've ever played in, for sure, and I come from Scotland, so that's saying something.''

This major tournament is the first since the 2004 French Open with neither Roger Federer nor RafaelNadal in the semifinals. Federer was beaten by Berdych in the quarterfinals, while Nadal did not enter the field, sidelined by a partially torn tendon in his left knee.

Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic have combined to win 29 of the last 30 major titles, a stretch that began at the 2005 French Open.
