[/eurl]Andy Murray failed to reach the final of the Hall of Fame Championship in Newport as he fell to a 6-1 7-6 defeat at the hands of Justin Gimelstob.
The American rolled the British number one over in the opener but Murray responded and came back from 0-30 at 5-4 down to force the tie-breaker.
The momentum stayed with Gimelstob who quickly went ahead in the breaker and clinched it 7-5 to seal victory.
The eighth seed now faces Mark Philippoussis for the title.
The Australian beat Austrian sixth seed Jurgen Melzer 6-7 (2-7), 6-2 6-0 to go through.
