SAP Open

BBC - Andy Murray's maiden ATP Tour title has propelled him into the world's top 50 for the first time in his career. The 18-year-old's victory over Lleyton Hewitt in the San Jose final lifted him 13 places to 47th and put him within sight of the British number one spot.
Murray is the youngest British player in the Open era to capture an ATP title and the fifth teenager to lift the San Jose trophy, joining John McEnroe, Stefan Edberg, Michael Chang and Andre Agassi.

It's a really special competition not only for Murray but also my friend Jimmy(Yeu-Tzuoo Wang), who beat American James Blake 6-3 7-5 for his first victory against a top-20 player. Shame that he couldn't go further to go into the qutar-final losing against Murray 6-4 6-2, who evetually won the title. This is what Murray said about the match: "I think the first set was the toughest I've played on the tour."

The win over James Blake was a big step for Jimmy, and I believe it gave him a lot of confidence. And hopefully he can creat another new record of Taiwan to break into top 80. Keep going, both Murray and Jimmy!

Anyone have any idea what in god's name Lleyton Hewitt can do to win a 'big' match these days.

Running around like a jack rabbit on speed doesn't win you tournaments anymore ...

i didn't watch the game 'cause it wan't showed here. but i guess the only excuse is that he just came back from injury, and it's already surprising that he could go into the final...

the major problem for him i think is that he can't play constantly in one match. always like a totally different guy in the 2nd set...
