Novak Djokovic in Cincinnati final

Andy Murray to face Novak Djokovice

Novak Djokovice

Britain's Andy Murray proved too strong for American Mardy Fish in the searing Cincinnati heat as he reached the final of the Masters 1000 event.

The Scot edged the first set and battled his way through a second set of six breaks to win 6-3 7-6 (10-8).

Murray will face world number one Novak Djokovic in Sunday's final.

The women's final will be between world number seven Maria Sharapova and Jelena Jankovic, the world number 14 from Serbia.

Sharapova came from a set down to beat second seed Vera Zvonareva 2-6 6-3 6-3. The Russian is chasing her second title of the year, after winning in Rome in May.

Jankovic hasn't won a WTA Tour title since March 2010, and faced few problems in beating Andrea Petkovic of Germany 7-6 (7-4) 6-1.

Djokovic progressed, and improved his record for the year to 57 wins and one loss, after Tomas Berdych retired with a shoulder injury in their semi-final having dropped the first set.

Murray, 24, showed signs in the opening set of getting back to somewhere near his best as he became the first man this week to break the Fish serve in moving 3-1 clear, converting his fifth break point of the game

"I was struggling physically in the second set - it was hot but that's not an excuse," said Murray.

"My legs were feeling tired. It was the conditions. I need to get stronger. This is the first tough match I've played for five or six weeks. I need to get some more endurance in me before the US Open."

The final Grand Slam tournament of the year begins in New York on 29 August.

 

Liverpool Won by 2-0

Liverpool won 2 goals

Liverpool Team

 Arsenal - featuring Samir Nasri in the line-up with his proposed move to Manchester City on hold - held their own until impressive youngster Emmanuel Frimpong was sent off with 20 minutes left.

Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish reacted by introducing Luis Suarez and Raul Meireles in what proved to be the decisive move, as the pair were involved in both goals.

They combined before youngster Ignasi Miquel, on for early injury victim Laurent Koscielny, saw a clearance deflect off Aaron Ramsey into his own net after 78 minutes and Suarez applied a simple finish from Meireles's pass in the dying seconds to wrap up Liverpool's first win of the season.

Arsenal applied plenty of effort but look desperately thin on rescources, something Wenger must address urgently, whereas Dalglish was able to bide his time before bringing on Suarez to make an emphatic impact.

Dalglish was ecstatic at the final whistle, whereas Wenger must now fear his defensive options will be reduced further by Koscielny's back problem ahead of Wednesday's Champions League qualifier against Udinese in Italy.

Nasri received a mixed reception when his name was announced - but swiftly won over his detractors with an energetic and influential performance in the opening period, with youngster Frimpong also impressive.

Arsenal also had to regroup after the early loss of Koscielny with a back spasm. Young Spanish defender Miquel came on and Liverpool almost took advantage of the defensive readjustment as Andy Carroll rose to meet Stewart Downing's cross and produce an athletic save from Wojciech Szczesny.

Szczesny had an easier task to save from Jordan Henderson's header before Arsenal grew in confidence and started to threaten in the latter stages of the half.

Nasri demonstrated the verve that has made him such a coveted asset with a surging run from inside his own half that ended with him shooting just wide from Twenty yards and Frimpong also forced a fine stop from Liverpool keeper Pepe Reina with a low drive.

As a downpour soaked the Emirates, Arsenal almost made the breakthrough after 68 minutes when Andrey Arshavin found Van Persie in the area but Reina stuck out a leg to make a vital save.

Wenger rubbed his hands through his rain-soaked hair in sheer frustration, and he was not feeling any better two minutes later when Frimpong marred what had been a performance of real promise with a wild challenge on Lucas that earned him a second yellow card and dismissal.

When the deadlock was broken, it came in cruel fashion for Arsenal with Twelve minutes left. Miquel, with Suarez in close attendance, attempted to clear only to see his attempt strike Ramsey and loop over the stranded Szczesny.

The energy visibly drained out of Arsenal and Suarez's late second only increased the pain for Wenger and Arsenal's increasingly frustrated fans.

Tiger woods missed in US PGA

Tiger woods cut in Championship in Atlanta

Tiger Woods

The former world number 1 ended ten over par to miss the cut by a distance after a day of struggles in Atlanta.

Americans Jason Dufner (65) and Keegan Bradley (64) lead by one at five under from Jim Furyk, DA Points, Scott Verplank, John Senden and Brandt Jobe.

Rory McIlroy defied Thursday's wrist injury to card 73 to end three over.

Overnight leader Steve Stricker slumped to a 74 after his stunning opening 63 to slide back to three under, while England's Lee Westwood (68) was the leading Briton at one under with countrymen Simon Dyson (72) and Ross Fisher (69) level.

Woods amassed a 7-over 77 on Thursday, equalling his 2nd-worst round in a major, and was left needing a score in the mid to high 60s on Friday to have a chance of making the top 70 players and those tied for 70th going into the weekend.

But the thirtyfive-year-old cut a forlon figure as he fought with his swing, catching a host of bunkers and struggling with his distance control.

The American, now ranked 30th after a 4-month injury lay-off, had previously only missed the cut twice in 56 majors as professional, the 2009 Open and 2006 US Open. He has only missed four other cuts as a pro when he has completed thirtysix holes.

"It's frustration and disappointment that I'm not contending in the tournament," said the 14-time major champion, who has not won any title since his infamous sex scandal broke in November of 2009.

Tiger Woods

"It was probably tougher mentally more than anything else, trying to get it out of your mind," said McIlroy.

Australian Adam Scott, who won the WGC event last week with Woods's former caddie Steve Williams, enjoyed a share of the lead at five under but dumped his second into the water on 18 and dropped back to two under after a 69.

World number one Luke Donald shot 71 to finish one over alongside four-time major champion Phil Mickelson, who also found water on the last to end with a 70.

Defending champion Martin Kaymer, the world number three, carded rounds of 72, 73 to miss the five-over cut alongside Justin Rose and Australian Jason Day. Ernie Els, Martin Laird, Graeme McDowell and Darren Clarke were also among those to miss the cut.
