Rafael Nadal vs. Andy Murray Wimbledon Semifinals

cucio · Jul 1, 2011

Fast surfaces are very unforgiving, just a blink of the eye and there goes the set.

DjokovicForTheWin · Jul 1, 2011

Big big choke by Murray. How do you miss an overhead like that?????

Bud · Jul 1, 2011

Nice break from Rafa there... let's see if he can consolidate now

3-2

danb · Jul 1, 2011

Murray has to learn to stay positive.

danb · Jul 1, 2011

It's not a brake until you hold...

ViscaB · Jul 1, 2011

Finally Nadal is not outclevered on a nice point!

If Nadal can let him run like this he can make him very tired.

hawk eye · Jul 1, 2011

Nadal once again showing the importance of just getting the ball in play one more extra time...

Legend of Borg · Jul 1, 2011

I like Jamie's chances here.

He could do some real damage if he teams up Xisca.

DjokovicForTheWin · Jul 1, 2011

Wow, another easy miss by Murray, how do these pros miss those shots????

rafabull · Jul 1, 2011

3 chokes in a row....

Raindogs · Jul 1, 2011

The momentum has really turned and I usually have a pretty good feel and instinct for these types of things.

Outbeyond · Jul 1, 2011

Rafa's looking to be in the zone now.

sillymonkey · Jul 1, 2011

Nadal's settling in nicely now.

ProgressoR · Jul 1, 2011

rafa fighting hard to take this to 4 sets, good chance now that muzza is limping

bezs · Jul 1, 2011

Ralph's got his number now

zagor · Jul 1, 2011

Muzza broke a string.

vive le beau jeu ! · Jul 1, 2011

what a gift from the muzzette... it's disgusting.

he should be the one leading by a break at the moment !!!

rovex · Jul 1, 2011

Murray is a ****** **** of course his intention was clear just a minute ago.

DjokovicForTheWin · Jul 1, 2011

Looks like Murray is just giving up in this set. Kinda looks like Fed out there with the give up mentality.

kishnabe · Jul 1, 2011

This what I hate about Murray....he allways lower his ability when he gets negative!

yea, pretty soon andy will start cursing loudly.

Omega_7000 · Jul 1, 2011

Murray was injured in that last game.

aldeayeah · Jul 1, 2011

Nadal, intelligently, switches to a more passive game plan and lets Murray make the mistakes.

babbette · Jul 1, 2011

sigh, order slightly restored

hawk eye · Jul 1, 2011

Lucky *******'s got some rackets left in his bag..

Outbeyond · Jul 1, 2011

I think Murray needs to ditch the hat.

Nadal gifted him the 1st through an abysmal serve game. In that's sense it's all equal.

crocon · Jul 1, 2011

wait wait wait

Rafa played great and lost the first set, so he played terrible.

Now he resorts to desperation junkballs, Murray chokes, and Nadal is on fire?

MichaelNadal · Jul 1, 2011

Wait what's with this "choke" word? It's a choke when you lose serve at 2-all? So Nadal "choked" at the end of the first set then.

jottect · Jul 1, 2011

Jesus Muzza.... pick it up else you go home in 1 hour...

Magnus · Jul 1, 2011

Murray is a pile of UEs right now

rafabull · Jul 1, 2011

oh my god this a fine display of choking

Slice&Smash · Jul 1, 2011

Murray doing what he does best at a GS semi.

Choke.

fps · Jul 1, 2011

great recovery shot from Andy there. He's gotta stay in there, the way Nadal's up and down he might get a shot in this set to get back on terms.

bezs · Jul 1, 2011

Brain farting still on going

Legend of Borg · Jul 1, 2011

There are Muzza droppings all over CC.

Someone should clean up their act and start delivering.

ViscaB · Jul 1, 2011

If it gets to 5 sets I doubt whether Murray can keep on running like this.

Outbeyond · Jul 1, 2011

I may be the only one here who loves Rafa's spiny moonballs.

aldeayeah · Jul 1, 2011

Now Nadal ups the aggression.

It's interesting to watch him manage the rythm of the match... one of the secrets of his success?

Murray lost a simple fh putaway in 2-1 when he was leading 15-30. He has stopped playing since the

Nadal didn't miss an overhead slam or double-fault. There's a difference.

sillymonkey · Jul 1, 2011

a dbl break would be very nice.

Actually he's not going for winners at the moment. He just spreads play very well now.

Like the crappy game Rafa played at the end of the first set? It goes both ways.

So there are rules to when you can choke? 15-30 was a big point. There's no other explanation for that what and what has happened since.

fps · Jul 1, 2011

Right shot from Murray, bad execution. Perhaps, in fact, the exertion of having to hit one more shot each time is starting to wear him down. It shouldn't be, he knew this was how it would be and has been hitting the ball very well. He's getting defensive in his head, getting down on himself. He needs to get back up for this.

Telepatic · Jul 1, 2011

Total meltdown from Muzza.

aldeayeah · Jul 1, 2011

Nadal up a double break by not doing too much.

rafabull · Jul 1, 2011

drop shot fail. C'mon murray.

Hood_Man · Jul 1, 2011

This is madness. One missed forehand and Murray loses 2 service games in a row? What's going on??
