Asked if he would be back in top shape for the US Open that starts August 31, he said "we'll see." Roddick's victory was his third this year over Djokovic. The American is unbeaten in tiebreakers in the tournament, extending his lead on the ATP Tour with 33 tiebreaker wins. "It's been important for me my entire career," said Roddick, the 2003 Rogers Cup champion. "I'm starting to break serve a lot more now, but I certainly grew accustomed to playing a lot of tiebreakers early on. I'm comfortable playing them, and normally I can count on getting a couple of points on my serve." Roddick is looking to reach a third straight final, after losing to Federer in a five-set thriller at Wimbledon and the loss in Washington. Murray ended Nikolay Davydenko's 12-match winning streak. Davydenko, seeded eighth, came into the tournament following wins at Hamburg and Umag. "It will be difficult because Andy is one of the best players this last month," Tsonga said. "I know I have to play my game, stay on the offensive and see what happens. "I know I have a chance and I will take it."
