That’s the game: sometimes you win; sometimes you lose

Least said, soonest mended eh?

So we break up for our summer holidays and reflect on Rafa's half-year success that in any other season would be world-beating – a slam, a masters, a 500, another Wimbledon final and 4 other masters finals. Not Wimbledon Champion, not World No 1, but still leading every other player (other than he who must not be named) by a country mile.

Now is the time for mid-season conditioning, running repairs and riding around on a jet-ski in the Mediterranean. While I have used up nearly all my annual leave and have to start putting in the hard work <doom>. I know what I'd rather be doing.

The Montreal Masters starts on 8 August so we can reconvene in a mere 5 weeks and let's hope for more of the same…and Rafa – next time you win the toss against Djokovic – please choose to serve first, noh?

Vamos!

Still a wee bit jittery, however now it's a four set match minimum, I am breathing easier!

Nerves plain to see finishing off that set, but it's to be expected. Nadal hasn't won what he's won because he doesn't get nervous, but even though he does, he commits to the task and goes for his shots.

Think he may settle in a little more now and "go to work." Don't believe that Murray's ankle won't be an issue, and I think if he should go down two sets to love, the injury will "reasie it's ugly head." He needs to keep it close and nab the 2nd set, to keep the adrenaline going.

Think it's a little too much to ask now that Nadal has found SOME form, and it's not going to be a tight three setter! Phew!

Nadal hung tough in 1st set v Murray. Not much separating the two men there. http://yfrog.com/h0ynzooj http://yfrog.com/h8lrmrqj

Two hours played and Rafa serving to stay in the second set

Murray return goes wide 15-0
Good first serve again 30-0
Phewee - great point, Murray did the dropshot, Rafa got it back - Murray could have had the point but hit it long 40-0
Seems like the sun has gone in
Woooooooo and a forehand winner from Rafa - game!

So both players can hold serve afer all laughing

Rafa serves at 6-5 Shocked

Long rally and thank goodness Murray hits wide (sorry to the neutral observers Shocked ) 15-0
Out! Long by Murray. Seems like he's just hitting the ball back just now, making Rafa go for the bigger shots 30-0
Good serve and forehand by Rafa - Murray nets 40-0
<prays>
And Murray nets!

A big SI from Rafa and he takes the game and the second set 7-5. Just the 73 minutes for that one.

COME ON RAFA! VAMOS! Keep it up!
