Tiriac commentating the match.

forthegame · Jul 1, 2011

No way Murray wins this one. No way. Looks nervous even before the first ball is hit in anger IMHO.

fedtastic · Jul 1, 2011

Nadal in 4 very tight sets.

This is gonna be good

fps · Jul 1, 2011

no wait, he re-emerges on court restringing his shorts. let's hope he's not forgotten his balls, cos he's gonna need nads of iron to beat Rafa over best of 5 on grass!

Will ESPN2 be showing the match live on the west coast?

Nope. NBC stream starts in a little while, though. If you have an HDMI cable and a laptop, you can plug it in to your tv and watch near-HD quality.

BBC has no commercials,

find a UK proxy and watch on BBC Website.

MichaelNadal · Jul 1, 2011

Come on Rafito, need you to win this.

jesenk · Jul 1, 2011

Don't know why NBC can't start their internet feed before noon.

aaaaah ha Rafa tried to play the waiting game on Andy but Andy wasn't having any of it. went back inside. Rafa took longer then usual with his pre match routine meanwhile while waiting for andy. Andy came back saw rafa still sitting, took his time again, drank, sat, rafa not best pleased looking towards the court to see his game hadn't worked this time. Rafa gets up first, andy follows..ah-ha!! :mrgreen:

Jokes, love you rafa :shock:

Per ESPN website:
Wimbledon Update - Due to rights, the Rafael Nadal-Andy Murray match will not be live on ESPN2 or ESPN3.com. The replay will be available after 8pm ET.

So us on the West Coast are pretty much screwed? Again, I hate NBC.

Showing it live... better than nothing I guess

If it was Nascar or Golf, it would be on now :?

Tony48 · Jul 1, 2011

Eastcoaster here. I'll settle for the NBC tape delay (instead of a stream) since the match start time won't be too far from their official broadcast window anyway

Staying away from the net is gonna be hard

The Hermit · Jul 1, 2011

Nadal, Djokovic has done his part, now it is your turn, win this match and go to final.

MichaelNadal · Jul 1, 2011

You know both these guys have to be nervous....

fedtastic · Jul 1, 2011

Conditions look quite quick, its been sunny in london past few days. It might favour Murray if he plays agressive, If Nadal is in the mood and playing agressive then its GSM for Murray. Nadal will decide the outcome of this match. Let's see how well he plays.

forthegame · Jul 1, 2011

All these BBC commentators, their instincts are going to be proved wrong, cannot see a Murray win. Do I need glasses?

fiurein · Jul 1, 2011

Murray is going to collapse badly I fear

MichaelNadal · Jul 1, 2011

Damn, this is a LONG 2 minutes!!

Agree.

I'd sure hate to see Murray once again make a final and then not show up

MichaelNadal · Jul 1, 2011

It would make my day to see Federer sit in Nadal's box lol. Too bad he never watches.

ledwix · Jul 1, 2011

I don't think it will happen this week, but Murray has got to win a slam sometime. Looking at this results in the past, he's just made WAY too many major semifinals and finals to not win one sometime.

worst possible scenario.

Rafa won his first wimbly by beating the best there at that point, and so should Novak if he does. A simple win at wimbledon would just make me furious.:evil::evil:

Bud · Jul 1, 2011

Nadal knows that Djokovic is already #1 so that pressure should be off.

Crayola Oblongata · Jul 1, 2011

Come on Roger, I mean Rafa...I mean Mohamed!!

forthegame · Jul 1, 2011

Nice solid hold there, Murray.

The Hermit · Jul 1, 2011

Murray's serve is on today.

MichaelNadal · Jul 1, 2011

Nadal/Murray ALWAYS end up in the same half of the draw.

I think Murray would make it a worthy final, he looks better this year as a player. I'm still picking Rafa for the tournament though.

abmk · Jul 1, 2011

nice pass from rafa

both players have come to play it seems !

The Hermit · Jul 1, 2011

How come every Nadal's match, he is always the one to receive.

Did I hear him correctly earlier? I think he said this match will decide the #1 spot.

If he did then he was getting on my **** before the match had even started :evil:

fps · Jul 1, 2011

god some of the Brits in the crowd are idiots. it's like they support their man ironically, with a little smirk and no real belief or care. and I'm a Brit!!

Please don't bring this up again, we had enough thread about this

JeMar · Jul 1, 2011

What's up with the huge block of empty seats in the back of the stadium?

MichaelNadal · Jul 1, 2011

Murray's forehand is a joke. Nadal is gonna eat it up just like that point.

citrixscu · Jul 1, 2011

Murray is going to have to come up with some more pace on that forehand and start hitting Rafa off the court. Not sure how he intends to do that.

Hood_Man · Jul 1, 2011

I predict time warning for this match...

MichaelNadal · Jul 1, 2011

Wow Rafa you should have challenged!!

JeMar · Jul 1, 2011

Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Andy Murray calling for the trainer.

babbette · Jul 1, 2011

andy called the trainer????? CHEATER!!

The Hermit · Jul 1, 2011

Nadal should challenge that? Who call for trainer?

GOAT BAAH!!! · Jul 1, 2011

Murray trolling with MTO's

Nadal should have challenged.

fps · Jul 1, 2011

Murray calls the trainer.

Rafa makes a smart move psychologically. Chooses not to challenge a call he thinks is dodgy, instead using it as a way to pump himself up, create a siege mentality. Then belts a serve return winner.

He will quit because he knows he can't win.

JeMar · Jul 1, 2011

Murray is just trying to disrupt Nadal's very-early rhythm.

MichaelNadal · Jul 1, 2011

Rafa just needs to run this guy now. Too bad about the challenge.

JeMar · Jul 1, 2011

This is like when Nadal chooses to return first to try to get into the head of his opponent.

Murray is trying to get into Nadal's head by preempting him to the trainer!
