Rafael Nadal vs. Andy Murray Wimbledon Semifinals

[flyinghippos101]

France may win a war before Murray wins his first slam

 

[Crayola Oblongata]

That was an impressive hat, lady.

Interesting Wimbledon this year. Rafa holds, leads 2-0

 

[iriraz]

It`s still sunny on court but in Murray`s head it`s complete darkness

 

[fps]

7 straight games and Murray has glazed over.

 

[aldeayeah]

The serve I can understand, but Murray's forehand... disappeared without a trace. That's a confidence shot.

edit: and I've summoned it back by saying this, again!

 

[zagor]

France may win a war before Murray wins his first slam

It's not that unlikely but I don't see it happening at Wimbledon(just too much pressure on him), probably AO is his best shot.

 

[mcenroefan]

the crowd needs to get behind murray and try to lift him out of this

 

[Magnus]

I don't recall Murray ever making so many errors

 

[abmk]

Murray from the 1st set can win a slam, his reaction to that missed FH putaway in 2nd set is the reason why he hasn't so far.

agreed.....

 

[babbette]

"nadal is a great...murray is trying to be." and i wish him all the best but not today darling.

 

[romeo8880]

I don't recall Murray ever making so many errors

It happens in a grand slam every time.

 

[babbette]

a score needs to be settled in the final so murray vamoose

 

[FlamEnemY]

The hell is wrong with him? Come on man, you are in a GS semi, what the hell?

And it's not like it's his first semifinal...

 

[MichaelNadal]

"nadal is a great...murray is trying to be." and i wish him all the best but not today darling.

Lol!
10 char...

 

[Bud]

I hope Murray doesn't go to the final and hand Djokovic another major title.

 

[Magnus]

Finally a hold!!

 

[Hood_Man]

This is why, despite being a Brit, a small part of me wants Nadal to win today and reach Sundays final.

Nadal wouldn't lose 7 games in a row because he misses one forehand.

 

[zagor]

Muzza snaps the losing games streak.

 

[cucio]

Sweet scot volley.

 

[Magnus]

I hope Murray doesn't go to the final and hand Djokovic another major title.

Agree but I prefer anyone but Rafa

 

[rafabull]

Good hold.

 

[MichaelNadal]

I hope Murray doesn't go to the final and hand Djokovic another major title.

I don't know if anyone can beat Novak.

 

[bezs]

Hurry up you two i wanna watch Liscki and Stosur play doubles :twisted:

 

[cucio]

Nice day of tennis, today, innit?

 

[Fastpace Ace]

Ok what in the world happened to Murray? He was looking so strong in the first set and I just came back to watch.

 

[DjokovicForTheWin]

Yeah, his reaction wasn't ideal from missing that forehand. He lost 6 games in a row after that and hit as many unforced errors as possible.

Similar to the reaction by Federer after being up 5-2 at the FO and the drop shot miss. This is why Nadal wins slams, because of his mental toughness. He never gives up no matter how bad a mistake he makes. Others do.

 

[Xizel]

Oh my, a slice crushed Murray.

 

[fps]

Nadal being very sensible. He's not too far up on the baseline, he feels confident Murray will miss at some point so he's not forcing the issue.

 

[babbette]

wow the king is def awake

 

[Dreamliner]

Boris is has been really quiet for a while.

 

[rovex]

That parkinson fellow has really aged

 

[ProgressoR]

rafa in control, muzza biding his time

 

[MichaelNadal]

If Rafa makes the final, it will be his 5th final in his last 5 attempts.

 

[Bud]

I don't know if anyone can beat Novak.

I'd rather see Nadal try, give it 100% and lose... than Murray moping around the court.

This is a good match as it's tuning up Nadal's BH side. Nice rhythm from Murray.

 

[romeo8880]

I'd rather see Nadal try, give it 100% and lose... than Murray moping around the court.

Nadal will beat Djokovic pretty easily.

 

[Xizel]

How many forehand errors does Murray need before he gets a Major?

 

[The Hermit]

wow the king is def awake

More like Murray gone to sleep, tbh

 

[babbette]

I'd rather see Nadal try, give it 100% and lose... than Murray moping around the court.

agreeeeddd. but of course would prefer both to give 100% and have rafa win

 

[flyinghippos101]

Get Murray off the court, what a pathetic display of tennis. After dictating for a set and a couple of games, his entire game goes downhill and for what? One forehand . Kudos for Nadal for maintaining composure but that was just such an utter collapse by Murray

 

[babbette]

now that rafa is up he's not going to play crap again is he?!

vamos yo

 

[MichaelNadal]

Bad shot choice Rafa lol

 

[jottect]

Now that a "COME ON!!!!"

 

[babbette]

murray does a raf like point there

 

[FlamEnemY]

Nadal will beat Djokovic pretty easily.

Just like the last 4 times.

 

[TopFH]

What the f*ck is wrong with Andy? I left just when he won the first set, and now he is trailing by a lot. Well, it IS Murray...

 

[Dreamliner]

Murray needs to play some PlayStation tennis!

 

[President]

I don't know why this always happens to Murray, he just seems to lose all his fire and motivation midway through matches after facing some adversity.

 

[rovex]

now that rafa is up he's not going to play crap again is he?!

vamos yo

Chokedalito doesn't exist, remember.

 

[babbette]

and rafa does a fed like point to lose game.

nah just kidding :shock:

 

[romeo8880]

Just like the last 4 times.

Were they majors? Have you seen Nadal and Djokovic play each other in majors?
