Andy Murray's time at the U.S. Open ended

Highly touted British teen Andy Murray's time at the U.S. Open ended at the hands of Nikolay Davydenko 6-1, 5-7, 6-3, 6-0 Wednesday.

Ahead by two sets to one when play was suspended because of rain Tuesday, Davydenko won all six games when they resumed Wednesday.

``I never played against someone who's played a set as well as that,'' Murray said.

Despite the loss, Murray left the Open feeling encouraged about his accomplishments this year.

Highest on his list of achievements was an upset of Roger Federer at the Cincinnati Masters. The 19-year-old Murray also beat Andy Roddick at Wimbledon.

He also made the semifinals of the Masters Series event in Toronto.

``I want to take a bit of a break and kind of take in everything that's happened the last few months because it's been pretty special,'' Murray said.

``I've beaten the No. 1 player in the world, I've gotten to the top 20, made the semifinals of a Masters Series.''
