A Proud Tradition In Cincinnati The Cincinnati tournament has come a long way from its humble roots, first played at the Avondale Athletic Club more than a century ago, to the grand-scale ATP World Tour Masters 1000 event held at the Lindner Family Tennis Center today. The seven Western & Southern Financial Group Masters champions preceding Andy Murray all held the No. 1 ranking during their careers.
Murray Looks For Title Defence World No. 3 Andy Murray won his first ATP World Tour Masters 1000 title last year in Cincinnati, with victory over Novak Djokovic, and has since added to his tally with victories at Madrid and Miami. The Scot will look for a strong result to add further impetus in his bid to qualify for the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals.
Nadal To Complete The Set? - The Spaniard has reached the final at every ATP World Tour Masters 1000 event except in Cincinnati, where his best result was a semi-final finish last year (l. to Djokovic).
Federer Gunning For Hat-Trick - The World No. 1 is looking for a third title in Cincinnati after triumphing in 2007 (d. Blake) and ’05 (d. Roddick). The Swiss suffered a third-round exit to Ivo Karlovic last year.
Home Hope Looking for Repeat Success - American Andy Roddick has a 25-6 record in Cincinnati after capturing the title in 2003 (d. Fish) and 2006 (d. Ferrero) and finishing runner-up in 2005 (l. to Federer).
