Rogers Masters - Toronto
The last meeting between the two was during the quarterfinal match at the All England Club where Nadal clearly out-muscled Murray in three easy sets. Keeping the momentum for his first career victory over Novak Djokovic in the previous round, the Scot started strong holding serve to force a first set tie-break. Nadal easily won the tie-break. The Spaniard remained strong, asserting his dominance by making short work of Murray.
Final match:
Nicolas KIEFER (GER) vs. [2] Rafael NADAL (ESP)
East West Bank Classic – Los Angeles
[4] Dinara SAFINA (RUS) d. [1] Jelena JANKOVIC (SRB) 7-6(3), 6-1
Ana Ivanovic can breathe easier – for now. Compatriot Jankovic was on-course to reach the summit of the WTA rankings had she won this tournament. As the top seed, she was clearly the favorite to secure the title. If she were to be no. 1, she would have done so even without reaching the final of any grand slam. But it wasn’t meant to be. Surprise French Open finalist Safina stunned Jankovic beating her in straight sets. The first set was close reaching a tie-break. In the second set, it was the Russian all the way as she only dropped one game to secure her slot in the final.
