MONTREAL – Martina Hingis reached the Rogers Cup final when Anna Chakvetadze quit during the second set Saturday because of an injured right arm.

Hingis led 6-3, 3-1 when her 19-year-old Russian opponent informed the chair umpire she could not continue. Chakvetadze stopped after her fourth on-court visit from a trainer, prompting a smattering of boos from the Uniprix Stadium crowd.

“It’s kind of disappointing to win a match like this, but I was already up a set and 3-1,” Hingis said. “She was hurting, but she continued. You still have to keep your focus and make her play because you don’t know how much it’s hurting.”

Chakvetadze was the seventh player in the tournament to either withdraw from a match or fail to finish because of injury. Several stars pulled out even before the hard-court event began.

Roddick powers into Masters finals

MASON, Ohio – Andy Roddick is back on the attack just in time for the U.S. Open.

Using his aggressive serve-and-volley style, the American overwhelmed Chile’s Fernando Gonzalez 6-3, 6-3 on Saturday night to reach the finals of the Western & Southern Financial Group Masters.

For Roddick, it culminated a weeklong comeback from injury and set up a rematch with Juan Carlos Ferrero, the player he beat for his 2003 U.S. Open title.

The unseeded Ferrero followed up his big upset with a personal breakthrough of his own Saturday, beating hobbled fellow Spaniard Tommy Robredo 6-3, 6-4.

Afterward, he said he’d prefer to play Roddick. That long-ago loss at Flushing Meadows is still fresh in his mind.

“Big memory of that match,” Ferrero said. “His serve was unbelievable.”
