Take it away Jahu.

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

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

Hilariously bad start from Nadal.

Its a flying scotsman... blimey

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

Murray looking much more confident.

by Jahu Sun 10 May 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 10 May 2015, 6:31 pm

Nadal takes a game!

by Jahu Sun 10 May 2015, 6:32 pm

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

by Jahu Sun 10 May 2015, 6:36 pm

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

by summerblues Sun 10 May 2015, 6:41 pm

Rafa starting to win his service games more easily.

by Jahu Sun 10 May 2015, 6:42 pm

Rafa shanking like Fed on a bad day.

by temporary21 Sun 10 May 2015, 6:43 pm

Darn crowd, stop messing my timings up!

by Jahu Sun 10 May 2015, 6:47 pm

Crucial hold from Andy.

Rafa getting into the match.

by summerblues Sun 10 May 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 10 May 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 10 May 2015, 6:56 pm

Scruffy hold brings the set for Andy.

Got to up it much more on next set.

by summerblues Sun 10 May 2015, 6:57 pm

Good!

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

by djlovesyou Sun 10 May 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 10 May 2015, 7:02 pm

We need a break NOW.

by Jahu Sun 10 May 2015, 7:06 pm

Break for Andy.

Nadal is scared now of the thought of losing already.

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

Awful from Nadal.

by summerblues Sun 10 May 2015, 7:07 pm

Yes!!!

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

by Jahu Sun 10 May 2015, 7:07 pm

Time to get some aces from the bag.

Just Serve man, just serve!!

by Jahu Sun 10 May 2015, 7:08 pm

Nadal trying to hit the public with FH or what?

by Jahu Sun 10 May 2015, 7:09 pm

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

by summerblues Sun 10 May 2015, 7:09 pm

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

by Jahu Sun 10 May 2015, 7:10 pm

Superb rally.

by Jahu Sun 10 May 2015, 7:11 pm

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

Realyl wild.

by Jahu Sun 10 May 2015, 7:12 pm

Break him again, don't be shy.

by Jahu Sun 10 May 2015, 7:16 pm

Oh mommy, Andy toying around with Rafa.

unheard of on clay.

by Jahu Sun 10 May 2015, 7:17 pm

oh what a missssss

by summerblues Sun 10 May 2015, 7:17 pm

by temporary21 Sun 10 May 2015, 7:17 pm

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

by Jahu Sun 10 May 2015, 7:18 pm

oh what a shot

by Jahu Sun 10 May 2015, 7:19 pm

haahhaah Andy breaks, he is really breaking Rafa mentally.

by summerblues Sun 10 May 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 10 May 2015, 7:20 pm

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

by Jahu Sun 10 May 2015, 7:21 pm

Bagel approaching faster then Nadal is loosing hair Laugh

by summerblues Sun 10 May 2015, 7:21 pm

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

by Jahu Sun 10 May 2015, 7:23 pm

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

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

Winners:
Nadal 13-8 Murray

by Matchpoint Sun 10 May 2015, 7:24 pm

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

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

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

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

Wow just wow! 4-0!

by **laverfan** Sun 10 May 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 10 May 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.
