Why does every American in the stadium seem to be brown nosing Rafa? Lets have some support for Andy as well.

Nadal is a full throttle nutjob. He doesnt know the meaning of "half speed". Hes walnuts to the wall 24/7.

Because he's #1 and a 6 time slam champion, he earned it. Let Murray earn it, he has enough ass-kissing in the UK. If he wants it outside of there he should achieve it like any good champion does.

Poor strategic choice by Rafa. Wind too unpredictable to execute those types of shots.

Don't feel bad, he's a tennis fan and a stupid grown up person.
that was a huge one he hit early on. actually it was interesting in the post nalby conference, he said his forehand now matches up well with the nalby backhand.
great point there.

It just feels like Murray has the advantage even when he doesnt on hards against Nadal. He just has the game that doesnt fall prey to Nadal like Fed does.
You cant attack his BH.. Its too solid

If Murray ever devlops a game on clay and grass. LOOK OUT.. For real. THis guy is no joke when he is playing well. Hes very smart and has his base covered all around.

Not bad.. Just not of the elite yet. It will be interesting to see how Murray fares this year during the clay and grass season.

Jesus why the hell would I want to live that rat and cockroach infested Manhattan? Along with the fact that you have to pay around 3000 dollars a month for rent in a small crammed apartment to boot? And for your information kid, Queens has over 2 million people. The most of all 5 boroughs of NY. So you can shut your little trap and continue to cheer for Nadal like an obedient child.

He is underestimated on clay and grass simply because his breakthrough happened in Toronto/Cincy, after the grass and clay seasons had ended.
He has a great serve and his movement will be more than enough to do well on grass. He also grew up on clay.

Nadal does look like he wants it more at this point.

what does height has to do with that? so you're saying taller player are more agressive than shorter ones?
on clay his passivity can make his shots (esp forehand) ripe for crushing, which is how almagro blasted through him last year. match against nadal last year shows he's pretty far away at wimbledon too.

Nadal slicing almost everything to Murray's forehand.

His backhand has always been solid but now he has added pace and direction to it. What he did to Fed in AO final with his BH.

"Sensible tennis, good footwork"
in modern tennis, with the heavier balls, generally slowed courts, the defensive player now has more chance than at any stage in the game's history. these guys have phenomenal defences and this is quite possibly the future of tennis.

Not quite understanding Murray's game plan @ this moment.
When he beat Nadal @ the US Open, he attacked Nadal, hit flat, especially on his backhand, he has the ability to play great shot winners, i hope he'd apply that more.
