Scottish Andy Murray did it again in two weeks. In an engrossing
final yesterday, world no.6 Andy Murray beat world no.3 and
reigning Australian Open champion Novak Djokovic in straight
sets, 7-6, 7-6, to lift the Cincinnati Masters 2008 title for the first time.
Compared to his semifinal match Rafael Nadal, Djokovic was
far more erratic in his stroke selection and serve, and was broken
more than thrice by his opponent in the final. Even though, he
had managed to level the scores finally, in the tie-breaker, howevr he
had failed to wrest the initiative that eventually cost him the match.
For Andy Murray, it was a great run since Wimbledon, and if
he could carry forward this form to the coming months as well - in
Olympics and US Open - we all might get to see many more
enthralling contests amongst the top 10 players, and still more thrilling finishes.
