Murray wins!!
I think he'll be the one to challenge Nadal next! It's gotten really close between them, lately.
first of many i hope
as for Nadle its going to be close next season
but murry is getting better every match he plays
winning your first the hardest thing to ask tim
I agree! The pressure of being No.1 told on Nadal, yesterday! I truly don't think he'll be No.1 too long, as people being to study his game on a deeper level. The fact that he likes to keep the high ball going is getting sussed, finally. Murray made headway by keeping the rallies really short, before the knee injury, last week.
The only thing left to counter is Nadal's superb speed and passing game!
I remember watching a match, in Rome i think it was, Nadal vs Starace, and it was one of the closest run matches for Nadal on clay that i can remember. Practically every 3rd point, Starace played a drop shot, and followed it into the net. Nadal would reach them, but once he did, it got him involved in a kind of mini-tennis game, rather than standing metres behind the base-line hitting with ridiculous top spin. I honestly feel the way to beat Nadal has to be to get him out of his comfort zone, whether that's bringing him into the net, or taking everything early and rushing him (the way Djokovic beats him on hard courts, though it wouldn't work on clay). Andy has the skill and touch, though i don't think he can dominate a point with his forehand, so he'll need to work on that.
true
the power of nadal is on the base line
and you need to bring him in the net
for me murry need to work on is second serve
and go for alot more on it
at the moment its easy pickings
but we have to look at the long term
and murry is only just starting out in the game
and the likes of nadal have been playing alot more years on tour
so in 2 or 3 years murry will be up there and i can see him winning
a load of majors and being world number 1
