Jamie_B Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 And he takes the set on the breaker. Some comeback. Wish he'd turn it on without being a double break down though... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gy diamond Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 breaks in the first game of the 2nd. That was some back hand on the 2nd break point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Minertaur Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 From 5-2 up and serving for the set to 5-5 now. This set is identical to the first just with the players swapped! Chela is on fire right now! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Minertaur Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Well I jinxed Chela there Murray breaks and will serve for the set. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gy diamond Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Murray can never do things the easy way. take this go 2 sets up and hopefully he can make it through the 3rd without any dramas. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies4eva Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 he playing good now, a break up already in the 3rd, he should see this out now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightmare Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Watching Murray games is like watching WTA (except with an obvious quality difference). So erratic and breaks of serve all over the place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theentomologist Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 this has been adequate and a bit better than the last match. but he wont beat Rafa playing like this. he needs to go up about 10 gears, whether Rafa's playing shite or not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Minertaur Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Fine performance overall. Will need to up his game against Nadal big style but there's always a chance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 What are we saying then? Nadal in an hour and a half? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widge Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 If Murray plays as well as he can he will win, or if Nadal plays badly. But as it stands, I reckon Nadal to win, 7-6, 7-5, 3-6, 6-4. Not that I want that of course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McKee Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 First set will decide it. Only 5 times in his career has Nadal won the first set and lost the match against the big 4. It'll be a close match, but Nadal will step it up on the crucial points and win in straights, as per when these two meet. But whatever happens, it will be a high quality match, also as per usual. These two are the best match up on tour, no doubt about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T_S_A_R Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 if murray plays as well as he did in the rome semi he has a right good chance. i'm back at work today after being on holiday for a wee while, disastrous timing. the bird's final should be pretty good tomorrow, both semis were decent for a change. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monster Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Yeah, the first set is the crucial indicator for Murray. Start like he did against Troicki and Chela and it's goodnight. Get the first set and he has a decent chance. Looking forward to the match, although more in hope than optimism. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McKee Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 the bird's final should be pretty good tomorrow, both semis were decent for a change. God no. It must be about 3 or 4 years since I've watched an entire WTA match. It truly is terrible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H_B Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Whoever wins the first set, will win the match. Unless Murray does, in which case Nadal will also win the match. This will be a cakewalk for Nadal - I'm astonished anyone thinks differently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theentomologist Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 the bbc commentary team on tv are rubbish, but they raise an interesting question. has Nadal ever lost a set (on clay) leading 5-1? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
