Nadal upset by No. 19 Youzhny Rafael Nadal, fatigued from a nearly four-hour match the previous day, was routed by fourth-seeded Mikhail Youzhny 6-0, 6-1 Sunday in the final of India's Chennai Open.

Youzhny, ranked 19th in the world, clinched the fourth title of his career by shocking the second-ranked Nadal, who managed to hold his service just once.

Nadal said he was a bit tired, after needing 3 hours, 54 minutes Saturday to overcome fellow Spaniard Carlos Moya in what was the longest three-set match on the ATP Tour in 15 years.

• Michael Llodra, a late addition to the Australian men's hardcourt tennis championships in Adelaide, won the final by beating Jarkko Nieminen 6-3, 6-4. Llodra entered the tournament as a replacement for fellow Frenchman Richard Gasquet, who pulled out because of a knee injury.

• Amelie Mauresmo of France and China's Li Na have withdrawn from the Sydney International, the last major tuneup before the Jan. 14 start of the Australian Open. Mauresmo has a left adductor strain and Li has a right knee injury.
