Murray through, Federer out

Britain's Andy Murray won his first singles match since his Wimbledon quarter final, beating Thomas Johansson in the ATP Masters tournament in Toronto. "The British No1 struggled with his serve throughout, dropping his opening two service games in the second set, before demonstrating his resilience to triumph over the 1999 Canadian Masters champion in one hour 38 minutes," reports the Guardian. Wimbledon champion Rafael Nadal eased past Jesse Levine. But, as Steve Keating writes: "The end of Roger Federer's long reign as world number one moved closer when he suffered a shock second-round defeat by Frenchman Gilles Simon."
