Rafael Nadal vs. Andy Murray Wimbledon Semifinals

[sonicare]

It's Rafa...it can't be helped. There's a reason this guy has won ten slams.

Dude ..its the manner in which hes losing... hes missed some SITTERS on massive point.. just missed a forehand now..lol

 

[Mustard]

3 MPs Nadal.

 

[The Hermit]

I just hope Andy recovers from this loss.

He can recover, after the big loss in AO, he was able to reach 2 slams semi.

 

[Rippy]

3 matchpoints for Nadal

 

[egn]

what a surprise triple match point nadal..

 

[Dutch-Guy]

3 MPs nadal...

 

[Outbeyond]

OK RAFA...ITs TIME NOW

[jottect]

Safe bet to say "It's over!"

 

[Magnus]

3 mps. Murray should be ashamed at this performance

 

[egn]

one saved..

 

[Outbeyond]

whew!! give it up for murray! nice shot

 

[babbette]

if u win rafa save the fall for sunday

 

[Dutch-Guy]

Rafael Nadal Pareira in the finals. Yesssssssssssss

 

[fednad]

Does this feel like grass court tennis?

Nope it does not. In fact, on at least 4-5 points I saw Nadal moonballing.
Just that Murray cannot crack a forehand winner ever since that first set got over.

 

[Rippy]

Nadal wins.

 

[jaggy]

Thouroughly deserved

 

[sillymonkey]

yahoo! beautiful...I'm so happy for Rafa.

 

[Crayola Oblongata]

That's it. "He rips the heart out of Murray".

 

[ViscaB]

Wow! I'm proud of Rafa. Whatever happens on Sunday. He's a champ.

 

[Semi-Pro]

**** **** ****

 

[The Hermit]

Nice, finally it is done.

 

[Outbeyond]

woooooooooooooooohoooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[THUNDERVOLLEY]

This is no surprise at all. Murray never had a chance as he struggled just to pour everything into that 1st set--a clear indicator that he was was going to fade. I said it a couple of weeks ago and i'll do so again: Murray running into this Nadal would not have the game to defeat him. No chance at all.

Unfortunately for some, Murray is on his way to being another Henman at Wimbledon: Henman was a 4-time semifinalist, and Murray now a 3-time semifinalist.

 

[Raindogs]

LOL at the mandatory 'you'll get one someday' look from Rafa

 

[MichaelNadal]

5th Wimbledon final for Rafa, wow.

 

[Dutch-Guy]

From a set down to taking the match. 20 matches unbeaten in Wimby. Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

 

[Zildite]

Nadal wins, congrats Djokadal final

 

[JeMar]

Nice, we get the final between the two best players in the world. The final that everyone wanted (outside of the United Kingdom) and the final we should've gotten at Roland Garros.

 

[Bud]

Too bad Murray can't keep up his first and last set levels for any length of time

He started strong and ended strong but dropped off too much in the middle.

 

[abmk]

well done rafa

 

[Mustard]

Nadal wins

 

[kishnabe]

Congrats NadoP!

 

[Outbeyond]

LOL at the mandatory 'you'll get one someday' look from Rafa

so true, lol........

 

[Raindogs]

Becker says Murray "needs a couple more practice sessions to improve."
Breathtaking commentary.

 

[bolo]

feel bad for murray , but feel great for nadal.

Woo hoo!

 

[babbette]

oh my god murray heartbreaking picture. tomorrows paper shot

 

[davethedope]

Murray must be mortified

 

[The Hermit]

Why is it whenever Rafa changes his shirt, people start to ....
Classy Murray, wait for Rafa despite the tough loss.

 

[zagor]

Congrats to Nadal for reaching his 5th Wimbledon final, better luck next time Andy, your mental game needs work more than your tennis game(which is brilliant IMO).

 

[MichaelNadal]

Now please win Sunday. I would much, much rather see Rafa fall to the grass, than primal, cocky screams.

 

[Legend of Borg]

You'll get one, Andy.

A set in the finals, I mean.

 

[Outbeyond]

You'll get one, Andy.

A set in the finals, I mean.

and you ARE mean:twisted:

 

[cucio]

Alas, poor Muzza. Well, at least this time he put up a decent struggle.

The final should kick ass if both guys play like today, can't wait.

 

[Hood_Man]

Well done Rafa.



Murray's finished.

 

[Bud]

Winners / UE's

Nadal 37 / 7 (+30)

Murray 42 / 39 (+3)

 

[MichaelNadal]

If Rafa hits his inside out forehand as well as he did today, he should win the final.

What the hell are you talking about? He had many chance, it's just that when he made that fh error, his head has gone to Playstation.

Nice, we get the final between the two best players in the world. The final that everyone wanted (outside of the United Kingdom) and the final we should've gotten at Roland Garros.

Last time I checked,you had to win a semi before making the final,no?

 

[sonicare]

hes gonna win a ghrand slamm for sure..no?


hahahahah

Nadal/fed/novak all troll Murray when they beat him in slams.

 

[kanamit]

This is where the djokovic effect comes into play. He's still in Nadal's head, and I think he'll win it in 4 on Sunday.
