Having won in 2009 & 2010, Andy Murray's second consecutive title defense at the Rogers Cup in Montreal didn't go as he planned. He received a bye in the first round, and was sent bye-bye in the second by 35th ranked Kevin Anderson 3-6, 1-6. Anderson came out on fire, starting off the match with an ace, and then went on to close out his first service game 40-0. Murray, looking mopey, had two double faults in his first service game, the second coming on break point. He, as well as Mr. Anderson, held serve for the remainder of the first set. Anderson took the first, the same he began it, by serving an ace.

In the second set the wheels all but fell off for the Scot. He started off serving with a double fault and was broken, then things went downhill quickly for him. He went down a double break, and serving at 1-5, he was broken again & handed the match to the South African with a pretty bow on it.
He may still have a good run at the US Open, but it seems like for every step he takes forward, he takes two more back. Miserable performance today from dearest Andy Murray
