Andy Murray...

[sufcintheprem]

So many break points spurned. Not sure he can get away with passing so many up.

UNBELIEVABLE SHOT!

i think they just want a 5 setter

Pity he couldn't kill off that game.

The standard from both of them has been amazing. Great to watch. Not many players can go toe to toe in these rallys with Nadal but Murray is more than holding his own

 

[sufcintheprem]

Absolutely epic game but so many missed opportunities. I'm worried for Murray after that/ If he's there mentally, he's coming out and winning this to 0 or 15.

I just fear that he's missed a cracking set of opportunities.

Uh-oh...0-30

Bugger 2-1 nadal

 

[jerseyshrimper]

absolutely rivetting game

Bugger 2-1 nadal

Nadal's odds on for the match now. I think Murray's given as good as he can and it's not quite been enough. Momentum really with Nadal and if he wins this set, there's surely only one winner in the 5th.

think you're right, hope you're not!

More fight than we've seen in the past from Murray - his composure allows him to keep his timing and make his returns deep enough to become awkward for Nadal. Still causing problems on Nadal's serve. He's starting to look a little weary with some of his shots though.

Come on Murray.

Muray breaks back! Great return from the body to get the ball back at Nadal's feet and Murray moving with a swagger all of a sudden.

 

[stevie_G_G_G]

Get in there!!!!! 3-3

 

[Pubey]

what. a. shot!!!!

Either way, I think the winner of this match is going to lose the final (which is tommorow). There's no way either of them can pull out the necessary fitness physically or mentally after this.

anyone thing that the the way the US are happy to fiddle around with the match times is really unfair? The semi's really should have been played at the same time

They can't help it if the weather wants to play silly sausages can they?

I suppose the difference is that Murray reaching the final has achieved more than planned but Nadal would have expected to make the final. Hopefully that will allow Murray to play with a relaxed style and he's managed to beat Federer before.

Murray and Nadal both get under Federer's skin with their impossible returning and I think you can see this in his body language when playing them. I would say you're probably right though especially after the level Fed was playing at against Djokovic.

 

[Bluesmanager]

Murray 4-3, I reckon if he takes the next he's got this.

Yes but they could have played both matches at the same time though knowing that the bad weather was going to be hitting them that day
