Loki Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Murray was excellent. He neutralised Nishikori without even serving as well as he has in previous matches. I thought he would have to be flawless on serve as Nishikori stats on return have been better than Novak and Murray recently. However Nishikori's serve and return were very poor (partly due to Murray's first serve being fantastic) and Murray was able to contain him well. Some lovely drop shots by both, but Nishikori's touch is a joy to watch. The big test will be tomorrow. Nadal seems to be finding his form with his old racquet. Should be a very good match and Nadal Vs Murray normally gets the best out of both players if they both play well. I am going for Murray to shock the world. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AberdeenBud Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Got laughed at for saying this before but it's not outwith the realms of possibility that Andy might win a French. You'd only need an injury/shock defeat to rafa or novak and the draw could completely open up for him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 He's certainly never headed for Paris playing as well as this on clay, would be a terrific win if he can do it tomorrow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd only need an injury/shock defeat to rafa or novak and the draw could completely open up for him. I have always said he would have a small chance to win a French Open. Not sure he could go four or five hours with Nadal or Djokovic though, but they could meet earlier this year (quarter finals) and the winner could be very fatigued going into a potential semi clash. Tim Henman had a great chance to win the French Open, so if he had a great chance a chance may present itself. He has said that he is now pain free (back wise) from playing on the dirt. This greatly hindered his movement on the clay. The likes of Nishikori and Dimitrov could also potentially shock Nadal or Djokovic. Gulbis didn't have the mental toughness to really press Djokovic on clay last year. I really believe the more Djokovic wants to win the French, the more he will error in his anxious moments. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AberdeenBud Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 I was gonna mention Henman getting to the semi but it really was a different era then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 I was gonna mention Henman getting to the semi but it really was a different era then. Yeah that is very true. Knowing that you could possibly play an opponent that has never beaten you to win a slam got to Henman a bit. Set up and looking comfortable, the occasion got to him a bit I think. I don't know why but I would have absolutely loved him to win the French. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he seems to be playing some very decent stuff just now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
