Murray's US Open run ended by Davydenko

NEW YORK, Sep 6 (Reuters) Andy Murray's hopes of a first grand slam quarter-final ended in disappointment today when he was beaten 6-1 5-7 6-3 6-0 by seventh seed Nikolay Davydenko of Russia.

Resuming at two sets to one after the fourth-round match was held over from yesterday because of rain, Murray made 13 unforced errors in the fourth set and Davydenko cruised to victory.

The 19-year-old Scot was broken in the first game of the fourth set and from then on he was always playing catch-up.

Davydenko, who had never before been beyond the third round at the US Open, broke again in the third and fifth games and served out for a clash with 14th seed Tommy Haas or former champion Marat Safin.
