So who saw the match and what exactly happened?? I mean damn....Roger losing in the second round...since when does that happen... Sorry Annie but I am lovin it... ;D I saw it - it was a "break-fest". Roger broke Andy's serve 5 times, Andy broke back 7 times!  Andy played strategically smart, had a good length in his groundstrokes so Roger for the most time couldn't attack him and he somehow managed to outplay Roger on the big points so that made all the difference. It wasn't a great match but it was surely exciting! I think Andy cried after he won! He buried himself in his towels and his shoulders were twitching quite a bit. Roger on the other hand simply didn't seem to believe it, he must have thought he had a bad dream. I'll download the match highlights tonight. |

From usopenseries.com: Murray stuns Federer at Cincinnati MASON, Ohio (Ticker) - For this first time in two years, Roger Federer will not be advancing to a tournament final. Improbably, the player who ended his streak was Andy Murray. The 19-year-old Brit took advantage of Federer's serving woes to stun the world's best player, 7-5, 6-4, on Wednesday in the second round of the ATP Western & Southern Financial Group Masters. "Obviously, I wasn't expecting to win today," said Murray, who had lost their lone prior encounter in straight sets in the Bangkok final last year. "So when it did happen, I was in a little bit of shock." Since losing in the first round here to Dominik Hrbaty in 2004, Federer had won 55 straight matches in North America. The top seed and defending champion in Cincinnati, he had been to 17 straight finals - one shy of Ivan Lendl's ATP Tour record set from 1981-82 - since losing to Rafael Nadal in the 2005 French Open semifinals. Federer had been been 62-0 against everybody but Nadal this year. "I feel OK," Federer said. "Not tired. Just disappointed that the match didn't go the way I wanted it to. Nothing really worked. It's kind of hard. You just have to look at the stats, and they show that I didn't play well. So it's just a pity from that standpoint. "But otherwise, I thought he played pretty well. Got to give him credit for closing out the match when he had to, because he missed plenty of chances. He should have closed me out way easier than five and four, so I'm pretty happy with the score." The winner earlier this year at San Jose, Murray had reached the Washington final and Toronto semifinals in his first two tournaments under coach Brad Gilbert, but this was by far the biggest win of his young career. "He basically said to me the most important thing was to believe and, you know, think that you had a shot of winning going into the match," Murray said. "Although I knew it was gonna be difficult, I did feel that if I returned well, I was gonna have a chance of getting close. And, you know, when you're getting to 5-All in sets, anything can happen." The native of Scotland broke Federer four times in the first set, earning the decisive break in the 11th game. Twice Murray was up a break in the second set only to see Federer counter, including in the eighth game to level the set at 4-4. But Murray broke again in the ninth game and held easily, completing the stunner with a backhand down the line. "I was reading most of his serves and I was in all of his service games maybe bar one or two in the whole match," Murray said. "I felt like if I could get ahead and improve my first serve, then, you know, I thought I had a good chance of winning." "I was just serving bad," Federer said. "That's just the thing I'm mostly disappointed about. Because with the serve, my opponent really has nothing to do with, you know, because I'm in control of how good I can serve. That's the only thing really I regret." Murray next will face Robby Ginepri in the third round Thursday after the 15th-seeded American dispatched Russian Dmitry Tursunov, 6-3, 6-4. |

I found this (thanks Krikry  ) Safin takes a break from coach Lundgren Thu Aug 17, 2006 3:00 PM BST Email This Article | Print This Article | RSS [-] Text [+] STOCKHOLM, Aug 17 (Reuters) - Former tennis world number one Marat Safin has decided to take a break from his Swedish coach Peter Lundgren. "Marat is not quite himself any more, he doesn't really know where he stands," said Lundgren, who helped the Russian to win his second grand slam title in 2005, the Australian Open. The 26-year-old Russian, who beat Lleyton Hewitt in that final, has not won a tournament since and is currently ranked 74 in the world. "He told me: 'Peter, I have nothing against you but I have to go on my own for a while." And I understand him perfectly," Lundgren told the Swedish daily Dagbladet on Thursday.:sweat: "We have taken a break now and we'll have to see what happens. Hopefully we'll be back in autumn with Marat in better shape. And I believe we'll start it off together then." Lundgren has previously coached world number one Roger Federer and the now retired Chilean Marcelo Rios |
