Andy Murray's US Open title defence
came to an end in the quarter-finals with a straight-sets defeat by Stanislas
Wawrinka.
The Scot usually manages to raise
his game when he needs to, but that was certainly not the case on Thursday as
he crashed out 6-4, 6-3, 6-2.
Wawrinka played an inspired match to
hand Murray his worst grand slam defeat since losing to the Swiss in the third
round in New York three years ago.
Sean Connery (James Bond) watching the match with a friend. Everyone
grows old but he is doing so gracefully. Nice guy
The statistics told the story of how outplayed Murray had been - the third seed
not creating a single break point and winning just 54 per cent of points on his
first serve.
Wawrinka moves through to a first
grand slam semi-final, which is likely to be a rematch with Novak Djokovic, who
he pushed to 12-10 in the fifth set at the Australian Open this year.
Now, except something of an 8.1 Richter Scale earth quake happens, this trophy has the name of Nadal or Novak already written on it.
