Good start. Too good to be true. Something has to change soon.

by It Must Be Love Sun May 10, 2015 6:27 pm

Hilariously bad start from Nadal.

Its a flying scotsman... blimey

by **laverfan** Sun May 10, 2015 6:30 pm

Murray looking much more confident.

by Jahu Sun May 10, 2015 6:30 pm

SB, he has graduated from a boy to husband now, give him some credit for the courage laughing

by Jahu Sun May 10, 2015 6:31 pm

Nadal takes a game!

by Jahu Sun May 10, 2015 6:32 pm

That's it, left, right, left, right.

by Jahu Sun May 10, 2015 6:36 pm

Andy crushing the ball, at least half of them ending inside the court, good.

by summerblues Sun May 10, 2015 6:41 pm

Rafa starting to win his service games more easily.

by Jahu Sun May 10, 2015 6:42 pm

Rafa shanking like Fed on a bad day.

by temporary21 Sun May 10, 2015 6:43 pm

Darn crowd, stop messing my timings up!

by Jahu Sun May 10, 2015 6:47 pm

Crucial hold from Andy.

Rafa getting into the match.

by summerblues Sun May 10, 2015 6:48 pm

Yes, Rafa is getting into the match. He has been the better player these last few games. Very very important for Andy to take this first set from here.

by Jahu Sun May 10, 2015 6:51 pm

Yeah first set here, and then take the second to TB, should be good, to not take it to 3.

By third set Rafa will be a different beast.

by Jahu Sun May 10, 2015 6:56 pm

Scruffy hold brings the set for Andy.

Got to up it much more on next set.

by summerblues Sun May 10, 2015 6:57 pm

Good!

One more set like this please. Rafa is getting closer and closer to a break though.

by djlovesyou Sun May 10, 2015 7:00 pm

Wonder what the odds are on a MTO sometime soon?

Nadal doesn't look injured at all, so 0% as it stands

by Jahu Sun May 10, 2015 7:02 pm

We need a break NOW.

by Jahu Sun May 10, 2015 7:06 pm

Break for Andy.

Nadal is scared now of the thought of losing already.

by It Must Be Love Sun May 10, 2015 7:07 pm

Awful from Nadal.

by summerblues Sun May 10, 2015 7:07 pm

Yes!!!

Andy's service games will be under massive Rafa attack now.

by Jahu Sun May 10, 2015 7:07 pm

Time to get some aces from the bag.

Just Serve man, just serve!!

by Jahu Sun May 10, 2015 7:08 pm

Nadal trying to hit the public with FH or what?

by Jahu Sun May 10, 2015 7:09 pm

Well Rafa ain't attacking anything, serve or not, he is playing wild.

by summerblues Sun May 10, 2015 7:09 pm

This is going too easy. Surely something has to crack somewhere.

by Jahu Sun May 10, 2015 7:10 pm

Superb rally.

by Jahu Sun May 10, 2015 7:11 pm

Nadal has no answers for anything, only Andy's nerves can screw this match.

Realyl wild.

by Jahu Sun May 10, 2015 7:12 pm

Break him again, don't be shy.

by Jahu Sun May 10, 2015 7:16 pm

Oh mommy, Andy toying around with Rafa.

unheard of on clay.

by Jahu Sun May 10, 2015 7:17 pm

oh what a missssss

by summerblues Sun May 10, 2015 7:17 pm

by temporary21 Sun May 10, 2015 7:17 pm

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

by Jahu Sun May 10, 2015 7:18 pm

oh what a shot

by Jahu Sun May 10, 2015 7:19 pm

haahhaah Andy breaks, he is really breaking Rafa mentally.

by summerblues Sun May 10, 2015 7:19 pm

Yes!!!

If Andy had lost the game after that miss, that would have been horrible.

by It Must Be Love Sun May 10, 2015 7:20 pm

As horrendously as Nadal is playing, you have to give Murray credit here, superb.

by Jahu Sun May 10, 2015 7:21 pm

Bagel approaching faster then Nadal is loosing hair Laugh

by summerblues Sun May 10, 2015 7:21 pm

Yes, Murray played that last game very well (that one shot excepted).

by Jahu Sun May 10, 2015 7:23 pm

Andy rallying for no reason and prolonging rallies, just to annoy Nadal Whistle

by It Must Be Love Sun May 10, 2015 7:24 pm

Winners:
Nadal 13-8 Murray

by Matchpoint Sun May 10, 2015 7:24 pm

OMG, what happened to "unbeatable when not injured"? this is surreal.

by It Must Be Love Sun May 10, 2015 7:24 pm

But unforced error count is a horror show for Nadal, 22 already.

by LuvSports! Sun May 10, 2015 7:25 pm

Wow just wow! 4-0!

by **laverfan** Sun May 10, 2015 7:25 pm

Yesterday, after the match v Berdych, Nadal looked much more comfortable. Munich has been the confidence-booster that Murray needed. This reminds me of the first set and a half @ MC.

by Jahu Sun May 10, 2015 7:25 pm

4:0, Andy sinking the Spanish Armada at their home port Smile

Rafa is NOT playing horrendously. He was finding his range as others indicated here after a nervous start. I would say it is the confidence (which would have been brittle) has been shattered and you need to credit Murray's level of play for that.

Read the post you just quoted, I did give Murray credit he's playing great.
