Rain gave Andy Murray time to regroup at the U.S. Open. He could not take advantage.

Trailing two sets to one to Nikolay Davydenko when play was called Tuesday because of rain, Murray came out flat Wednesday morning, getting broken in his first service game and never recovering as he fell to the seventh-seeded Russian, 6-1, 5-7, 6-3, 6-0, in the fourth-round encounter.

Davydenko next will meet either 14th-seeded German Tommy Haas or 2000 champion Marat Safin of Russia, who were staging another rain-suspended match, for a berth in the semifinals. Safin was taking to the court for a fourth straight day.
