Hmmm, I guess I should start getting nervous about spending a week in Cincinnati August 24-30! Bad things happen there! World #1 Roger Federer lost to 19-year-old Scottish player (and recent Brad Gilbert protege) Andrew Murray in straight sets 7-5, 6-4 at the Western & Southern Financial Group Master Series event.
The loss today ended a number of streaks for Federer. The most prominent was his attempt to make 18 consecutive finals (tying Lendl's record). It was the first time in 194 matches that Federer lost in straight sets! His streak of 55 match wins in North America also ended.
Federer last loss in North America was at the same event on August 3, 2004 to Dominic Hrbaty.
