Flushing Meadows, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Top seed Rafael Nadal was an easy
third-round winner Sunday at the U.S. Open, while fourth seed Andy Murray was
given an early exit.
Nadal took the next step in his pursuit of a career Grand Slam,
handling Gilles Simon of France 6-4, 6-4, 6-2 at Arthur Ashe Stadium.
The Spaniard, who is seeking his first U.S. Open title, will play
countryman Feliciano Lopez for a spot in the quarterfinals.
The 23rd-seeded Lopez advanced to the fourth round after Ukraine's Sergiy
Stakhovsky retired in the second set because of a right toe infection. Lopez
was leading 6-3, 4-0 when Stakhovsky called it quits.
Murray, meanwhile, was ousted by Stanislas Wawrinka. The 25th-seeded Swiss
rebounded from dropping the first set to take a 6-7 (3-7), 7-6 (7-4), 6-3, 6-3
victory over the Scotsman.
Murray had not bowed out this early at Flushing Meadows since 2007, and was
the runner-up to Roger Federer in 2008.
Wawrinka is into the fourth round at the U.S. Open for the third time in his
career and first time since 2008, when he was beaten by Murray in straight
sets.
Murray also thwarted Wawrinka in the fourth round at Wimbledon in 2009, but
the steady Swiss got some payback Sunday. He will attempt to reach his first
Grand Slam quarterfinal when he takes on 20th-seeded American Sam Querrey.
Querrey fired 42 winners and 19 aces to power his way to a 6-3, 6-4, 6-4
win over 14th-seeded Spaniard Nicolas Almagro. He matched his best performance
at a Grand Slam event, and has reached the fourth round at two straight
majors. The American also made it through to the fourth round at Flushing
Meadows in 2008.
An eighth-seeded Fernando Verdasco dispatched Argentina's David Nalbandian
6-2, 3-6, 6-3, 6-2. The Spaniard was a quarter-finalist here last year,
losing to Serbian Novak Djokovic in four sets.
Another Spaniard through to the last 16 was 10th-seeded David Ferrer, who
cruised past compatriot Daniel Gimeno-Traver 7-6 (7-2), 6-2, 6-2. Ferrer, who
has not dropped a set en route to the fourth round, will next face Verdasco.
Also on Sunday, Spaniard Tommy Robredo advanced to the fourth round after
Frenchman Michael Llodra retired in the fourth set. Robredo was leading at the
time, 3-6, 7-6 (8-6), 6-4, 2-1.
