Roddick falls to Stepanek at San Jose semis

The SAP Open tennis tournament was held this week in San Jose with Andy Roddick as the top seed. I think I read that he's won this tournament three times before, so he was undoubtedly the favorite this time around. Unfortunately for him, he lost a tough 3-set match to Radek Stepanek in the semis yesterday. Stepanek went on to win the tournament today with a 3-set victory over Mardy Fish. Elsewhere, Andy Murray took down Rafa Nadal to win the Rotterdam tournament. It sounds like Nadal injured his knee during the match, so I'm not entirely sure he was at the top of his game. But Murray remains a solid player and adds another championship to his resume.
