Nadal beaten in Paris!!!

Ever since that Wimbledon match between Söderling and Nadal that went on forever last year or the year before I've been watching this guy's progress a little bit. I'm not a big tennis fan, but the huge games are always fun. Sadly I missed this but it's of course amazing.

It's felt like these guys have hated eachother ever since Wimbledon, but of course there hasn't been a reason to hype it up when they're up against eachother because Söderling of course hasn't had a chance. So this is huge!

Soderling took the piss out of Nadal if I remember rightly.

Nadal does seem to struggle against players who hit the ball flat and hard consistently like Blake, Soderling, Youzhny etc.

I definitely expect Murray to win a slam this year PoolHustler, he was unlucky in the Australian Open where Verdasco played ridiculous tennis (90 odd percent first serves in I think)

Its only a matter of time really-he's that good. And with Nadal's injuries and Federer becoming less of a threat these days I can see Murray dominating mens tennis for 4 or 5 years.

Shit, I'm fucked!! I had a bet with a mate a couple of years ago that Murray would never win a grand slam, looks like i fucked this one up, and will be paying out a one-er in the near future.

Why ?

He's always had the potential just needed to getting fitter basically which unfortunately for you, he has.

It was a moment of ignorance, and i thought he didn't have the power to win in the modern game, shows what i know.

The worse thing is though, there's no realistic way i can put a saver on to cover my bet.
 
Watched it earlier and have just watched it again on Eurosport. He completely neutralised Nadal's game with hard, low, deep shots.

And his apres-match interview was classy as hell.
