August 30, 2008

Safin, the 2000 champion, lost the second-set tiebreak 7-4 and battled Robredo on serve in the third set before errors began to seep into his game as the Spaniard broke him in the 10th game for a two sets to one lead.
That seemed to take the life out of the 44th-ranked Russian, who went down meekly in a 24-minute fourth set.
