August 8th 2006 22:25
Marat Safin showed a surprising performance at the Washington Open, defeating the likes of James Blake and Wesley Moodie to reach the semi-finals, where he lost to eventual champion Arnaud Clement, seeded 11th in the tournament. This is the best result Marat has had so far this year, after sustaining a knee injury in 2005 and receiving a series of poor results.
His Russian Compatriot also showed spark, Dmitry Tursunov stopping Tim Henman 6-7(10) 7-5 6-3 to reach the semis, where he lost to Andy Murray, who debuted in Washington this year.
Eleventh-seeded Arnaud Clement defeated No. 8 seed Andy Murray 7-6(3), 6-2 to win the Legg Mason Tennis Classic in Washington. It was Clement's second title of the year, following his victory in Marseille, which snapped a title drought going back to 2003. He has now won four career titles from nine finals.
