Tennis - Radek Stepanek suffers double loss

Radek Stepanek lost his Montreal Masters semi-final to Roger Federer on Saturday and then revealed he was also a loser in love as his engagement to Martina Hingis hit the rocks. The Czech, who was beaten 7-6 8-6, 6-2 by Federer, had become engaged to the former women's world number one at the end of last year, but an ATP spokesman said that two were no longer an item. "Radek asked me to pass on a message announcing that he and Martina Hingis have split up, they will remain good friends, and that is all I have to say," said the spokesman.
