Rafael Nadal vs. Andy Murray Wimbledon Semifinals

[Crayola Oblongata]

Oh god no. NO.

 

[Telepatic]

Muzza deserved that set.

 

[DjokovicForTheWin]

Nadal playing his absolute best, but Murray just too good in that set. Let's see if he can keep it up.

 

[ProgressoR]

game on, nadal crumbles, murray going home in 3, i voted 4, gave N too much credit

 

[aldeayeah]

7-5, Murray takes a set from Nadal on grass.

Interesting match if a bit... lacking in rythm.

 

[MichaelNadal]

Set Murray after Nadal was looking better the whole time.

 

[zagor]

Muzza wins the 1st set, never had any doubt.

 

[jaggy]

Cmon Andy!!!!

 

[abmk]

great game from murray to break and take the set !

 

[The Hermit]

Well, first set, Murray, see guys, I told you, Murray is capable of defeating Rafa in slams.

 

[babbette]

2 more sets of hope. i am with culm

 

[President]

Lol Ted Robinson said "for the first time in a Wimbledon semi, Andy Murray has won a set!". Think before you speak moron...

 

[atbg]

... i can't believe rafa only saved one set point...
so unlike him...

 

[ledwix]

ANDY MURRAY IS IN THE HOUSE, everyone! LOL!

 

[Tony48]

Oh snap. I am teh surprised.

Murray gets the 1st set.

 

[Bud]

Nadal's 1st serve is crap today. He missed 3 first serves in that game to go down 0-40.

1-0 Murray sets

 

[crocon]

vamos Murray

excellent playing

 

[GOAT BAAH!!!]

Good set from Murray....

This "all forehand and only forehand" play from Rafa has to stop.

 

[rovex]

Murray wins this now.

 

[rafabull]

I don't if Andy can keep this up. Great set though.

 

[zagor]

Nadal playing his absolute best, but Murray just too good in that set. Let's see if he can keep it up.

Quoted for truth, peak Andy is an amazing player.

 

[ProgressoR]

to be fair nad is a bit off his best, but because muzza is dominating him

 

[babbette]

game on, nadal crumbles, murray going home in 3, i voted 4, gave N too much credit

premature ejaculation is why many people lose.

 

[TennisandMusic]

Set Murray after Nadal was looking better the whole time.

Not in that game he didn't. :lol:

I actually just came here to see if the celebrations had started yet.

 

[JumpSmash]

YESSSSSSSS! Muzza gets the first set!!! I know Nadal will still win but at least we Fed fans get a little bread crumb

 

[All-rounder]

Set Murray after Nadal was looking better the whole time.

Reminds me of Federer vs Roddick 09 final. Federer holding comfortably on serve then Roddick gets a sniff of a BP and takes the set.

 

[zagor]

Lol Ted Robinson said "for the first time in a Wimbledon semi, Andy Murray has won a set!". Think before you speak moron...

Yeah, must have slept over 2009 LOL.

 

[Hood_Man]

ZOMG! My inner fangirl is about to break out!

No break points, 6 aces... keep it up Muzza!

 

[ProgressoR]

muzza 90% of returns in play, nadal only 69%

 

[Semi-Pro]

Nadal going too much pace for 1st serve, thus lower %

 

[The Hermit]

Muzza wins the 1st set, never had any doubt.

Dude, you are contradicting yourself , I don't know if you are serious or in a troll mode.

 

[TennisFan3]

1st set Murray. Plus Murray serving 1st in set 2. Not looking good for Nadal, I think. Totally flat out there..

Anyway, hoping Murray can back it up against Djokovic on Sunday..

 

[mcenroefan]

That was some great tennis.

 

[Michael Essien]

In what world is this Nadal's "absolute best"?

 

[romeo8880]

Amazing first set by Andy Murray. Outplaying Nadal right now.

 

[SuperPhong]

Nads will probably bounce back to take the next set.. I see this one going to the wire

 

[Aeropax]

As a Nadal fan I'd feel somewhat happy for Murray for making the final and such, but knowing that he'd just lose in straights or four to Djokovic just pisses me off. It's like, Nadal HAS to win for Djokovic to lose.

 

[matchmaker]

Muzza deserved that set.

No he didn't. Or not more than Nadal. They were perfectly balanced and I would even say Nadal was slightly more dangerous, but you need a little luck and maybe a few UEs of your opponent on the big points and Murray had that, whereas Nadal didn't.

 

[ledwix]

Murray crushed his forehands when it mattered. It was good to see the aggression that set.

At 15-40 set point, I saw Nadal coming back and saving them all and winning the tiebreak, but somehow he missed that random slice...

 

[flyinghippos101]

Nadal's 1st serve is crap today. He missed 3 first serves in that game to go down 0-40.

1-0 Murray sets

Agreed, Rafa played one terrible game but thats all it takes to lose a set. Get the impression that Rafa might've been thinking too much about that long Murray game

 

[Sentinel]

Cmon Brandy. You can do it......

 

[SuperPhong]

1st set Murray. Plus Murray serving 1st in set 2. Not looking good for Nadal, I think. Totally flat out there..

Just the first set, it's not over yet...

This post fails so much.

 

[bezs]

Don't worry Muzza will have his obligatory brain fart

 

[jaggy]

Becker is such a bad commentator

 

[fps]

So let me get this straight, on Nadal's foot. Was it just his lovably broken English or is he essentially playing with a totally NUMB foot? Like when I've been lying down watching tennis too much, get up, and nearly fall over cos I can't feel my foot?

Or is it a more standard painkilling injection?

 

[Legend of Borg]

lol

At least now he's won a set on grass against the Spaniard.

 

[OddJack]

Time for the actor to get injured again

 

[Crayola Oblongata]

I had a feeling! I said before, I had the feeling. Come on rafa.

 

[fps]

By the way, Del Potro has shown the way in terms of Murray's game plan, no doubt about it. The big man continues to have a say in this year's tournament.
