Andy Murray fell out of the US Open in New York City on Monday under a barrage of aces and service winners off the racquet of towering South African Kevin Anderson in a match that ended two Grand Slam streaks.

Anderson reached his first Grand Slam quarterfinal with a 7-6 (75) Cheap Andrew Cogliano Jersey , 6-3, 6-7 (27), 7-6 (70) victory after a string of seven losses in fourth-round matches at Grand Slams. Murray's loss snapped the Briton's run of having reached 18 consecutive Grand Slam quarterfinals.

"That's obviously something that is disappointing to lose," said the third-seeded Scot, who smashed his -racquet in frustration after losing the second set. "That's many years' work that's gone into building that sort of -consistency.

"Also to lose a match like that, that was over four hours, tough obviously -after a couple of tough matches earlier in the tournament Cheap Cam Fowler Jersey , as well."

The defeat came at Louis Armstrong Stadium, the US National Tennis -Center's second court.

"That court is a lot quicker than Ashe. I felt like I was on the back foot quite a lot. Wasn't able to play that offensively," said Murray.

"But when you're playing against someone that has the game style that he does, you're always going to have to do a fair bit of defending, especially if he serves well."

Murray lamented some lost chances against the 2.03-meter South African, seeded 15th.

"When you're playing against players that are at that level, you need to make them think and then give them a chance to get nervous Cheap Corey Perry Jersey ," Murray said about how the match might have gone -differently had he cashed in a couple of break points. "I felt like I had my opportunities there but didn't manage to capitalize on them."

Murray, who has struggled with a head cold in the past week and battled back to victory in the second round from two sets down, did not blame fatigue.

"I was able to fight as I wanted to through to the end of the match. So I don't think the amount of tennis I played played a part," he said. "It was more playing against Kevin on the court of that speed, and with him serving as well as he does, it's a tricky match. It comes down to a few points in each set. He managed to get them today."

BEIJING, Aug. 25 (Xinhua) -- While most Chinese college graduates are busy settling into new jobs Ryan Kesler Jersey , some have decided to delay the working world for now and wait out a tough job-hunting season.

Li Yu from Anhui Agricultural University is among 7.49 million new Chinese college graduates this year -- a record high. Instead of looking for jobs, he spent the summer studying at several modern agricultural zones in east China's Anhui Province.

"I want to spend some time gaining experience in farm management," he said. "It will help me start my own farm and allow me to run it better in the future."

This year's job-hunting season saw 220,000 more graduates hit the market than in 2014, and slowing economic growth has meant diminished recruitment of new grads by companies.

According to the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), the unemployment rate of recent college graduates stood at 7.74 percent, well above the average.

Some Chinese college students Ryan Getzlaf Jersey , like Li, have chosen to remain jobless after graduation to pursue travel, startups, or volunteering instead.

"Whatever we choose to do, most of us are looking for what's best for us," Li said. "As long as what we are doing now is beneficial to our future, it is a smarter choice than getting hired upon graduation."

Wang Man Andrew Cogliano Jersey , 25, who graduated last year, agrees with Li. She rejected a secretary position with a company in Hefei, capital of Anhui Province, and has been traveling since then.

"I don't like monotonous work," she said. "To be frank, I haven't decided what to do yet. It won't do me any good to define my career hastily."

Supporters applaud these young people for throwing off outdated thinking and advocating a fresh attitude toward employment.

"Perhaps if you slow things down a bit and look around the world Cam Fowler Jersey , you can map out your future more precisely," said Du Mengjie, 26, founder and CEO of Chinese crowd-funding website Dreammore.

Before starting the fundraising platform in 2012, Du spent eight months traveling to Nepal, India, Afghanistan Corey Perry Jersey , and Bahrein, among other places.

His trips were mainly funded by online donations, which inspired him to establish the Kickstarter-like website to help young Chinese realize their dreams.

"Chinese college students should be less utilitarian. They should take their time to think about their dreams," he said.

Analysts said more college students are deciding not to work upon graduation to avoid the pressure in the fight for positions, especially when excess capacity of traditional industries has worsened China's job market.

"Chinese college job-hunters today face unprecedented pressure," said Li Anding, associate professor of the School of Journalism and Communication at Northwest University. "When they leave college without an ideal opportunity Anaheim Ducks T-Shirts , they prefer to remain unemployed as a transition."

"Career goals do not come to you when you stay in the classroom and dormitory," said Sun Hao, CEO of Careerguider, an online training site for job-seekers. "Only when you go out of your comfort zone and adapt yourself to changes will you become a more competitive job-seeker or entrepreneur."

However, some critics disapprove of this trend toward "NEETs" -- adults "not in employment, education or training" who live off their parents.

"Changing employment attitudes are no excuse for time-wasting and sidestepping," said sociologist Fan Hesheng.
