So you think a rain suspension can change a match? Ask Andy Murray. The 19-year-old Scotsman just came out for the fourth set of his match with Nikolay Davydenko — it had been suspended yesterday by rain — and was quietly sent back across the pond with his tail between his legs. Murray lost the fourth set 6-0 and was seen muttering to himself on several occasions.

At one point in the final game, Murray said something along the lines of “You know every shot he’s hitting around to your backhand.” Needless to say, he wasn’t quite ready to play this morning. At least not well.
