Fish scuttles Murray in Cincinnati

Fish, a wild card player in this U.S. Open Series event on the hard courts of the Lindner Family Tennis Center in Cincinnati, bounced back from a 6-7 (7-9) first-set loss to the fourth-seeded Murray to take the second set 6-1 and then the deciding set 7-6 (7-5). Murray sought medical attention on his leg during the middle set.

Fish served up 13 aces and held serve throughout the nearly 3-hour match. The 28-year-old American is now 3-0 against Murray this year.

The other quarterfinal matches pit Andy Roddick against Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer against Nikolay Davydenko and Rafael Nadal against Marcos Baghdatis.
The winner of the tournament will earn $443,500.
