French Open discussion thread
First topic message reminder :
Yep, it'll be all guns blazing I imagine. Going after every return he can and trying to end points quickly. It'll be fun to watch, but if you offered me a 4 set defeat for Muzza now I'd bite your hand off.

They always make you sit at the end of winning but in the end gamblers never win and the odd setter always win.

For those of you that watched, what happened in the 4th? Live text reports saying that both players looked like they were struggling with the heat. Is it that hot?
If Novak is getting pooped by the 4th set, he can kiss any chance of beating Rafa goodbye.

28 at the moment and a bit of a breeze. Just relaxed too much. Kept on hitting to the BH and let the sun bother him.
The cap did the trick

Frig, could it get any harder. Having to beat a legend that has won 63/64 at RG and then Dok in a final.
Would it be the greatest win ever?

Has to change the mindset in the 2nd set. Too many UE thus far.

Good news - Nadal can't play better than this.
Bad news - Nadal can play like this for 3 sets.

Re: French Open discussion thread
Rafa's been great, but he'll be delighted that Murray hasn't been that aggressive. He's been too patient. What's happened to the ultra aggressive return position?
Only Novak can stay with Rafa in a war of attrition. I'm a little surprised Murray is trying to.
Just hit it man. Blaze of glory and all that.

Nadals motivation is bigger for this match. Andy has done better then anyone expected of him and he is not giving it 101%.

Re: French Open discussion thread
Andy in this short match was able to draw a lot of errors from Rafa's forehand compared to Rafa's backhand, it should be his clear strategy, Murray's backhand to Rafa's running forehand.

This might even get over in 10 mts, Andy seriously has no interest to play a match let alone against Rafa.

Re: French Open discussion thread
So Andy is getting thrashed....not unexpected considering what has gone before. Plus consider Rafa is the greatest clay-courter of all-time whilst for Andy clay is his weakest surface. Still it has been an insipid performance so far - reminds me of Tsonga's tame exit against Djokovic earlier in the tournament. Certainly a long way from Andy's best.

There is no shame in losing here, especially as Rafa is fired up
