*Murray-Watch : Qualified For Masters Cup*US Open by Bourne (U3020163) 20 August 2008  Andy Murray has been beaten in the US Open Final by an awesome performance from the defending Champion Roger Federer. Murray was outplayed in the first set before having opportunities to go a break up in the second but failing to take them. Federer eventually took the third to take his fifth US Open title. Murray, after having reached his first slam final and World Number 4 for the first time, will now have a week off before a home Davis Cup tie against Austria. Murray's Route to the Final : [Rd 1] Roitman 6-3 6-4 6-0 [Rd 2] Llodra 6-4 1-6 7-5 7-6 [Rd 3] Melzer 6-7 4-6 7-6 6-1 6-3 [Rd 4] (10) Wawrinka 6-1 6-3 6-3 [QF] (17) Del Potro 7-6 7-6 4-6 7-5 [SF] (1) Nadal 6-2 7-6 4-6 6-4 [F] (2) Federer 2-6 5-7 3-6 Head To Head : Roitman - 1-0 (1-0 on HC) Llodra - 2-0 (2-0 on HC) Melzer - 2-0 ( 2-0 on HC ) Wawrinka - 4-3 (4-1 on HC) Del Potro - 2-0 (1-0 on HC) Nadal - 1-5 (1-3 on HC) Federer - 2-2 (2-2 on HC)
Murray has reached Number Four in the world after reaching the semi-finals of the US Open. After poor results for Ferrer and Davydenko, Murray overtakes them in both the Rankings and the Race, and looks almost certain to make the Shanghai Masters Cup at the end of the year.

Beethoven's Left Ear (U10962431) posted Sep 11, 2008 История St. Petersburg Open берет свое начало в 1994 году, когда в Санкт-Петербурге прошел первый международный теннисный турнир Мировой серии АТР Tour. С самых первых лет проведения соревнований, организаторы постоянно ощущали поддержку администрации города, петербургских СМИ, жителей города на Неве.
