Andy Murray wins his opening match at the Capitala World Tennis Championship over James Blake. The final score was 62 62, and gets Murray to the semifinals where he will face Roger Federer (once again).

"It's the first time I've played James in about three years so I expected it to be a tough match," said Murray, "but I played much better than expected for the first match of the year."

Nikolay Davydenko also won his match over Andy Roddick with a score of 64 64, and will now face Rafael Nadal in the semis. Both Federer and Nadal got byes to the semis.

"Nikolay played a great game," said Roddick. "I could have done better but this was just my first match of the year. Hopefully, the game will be much better than what it was today."
