Re: Wimbledon 2011
I'm looking forward to Nadal defeating Murray despite his foot injury.

How come your not cheering on Murray? He is 91% British after all.

Re: Wimbledon 2011
Nadal leads by two sets to one, two games to love in the fourth set.
Shouldn't be too much longer

Re: Wimbledon 2011
Murray has totally fallen apart but we have to remember that Nadal is no1 in the world.

Re: Wimbledon 2011
After the first set Nadal just moved up a gear and showed what a great player he is as he blew Murray apart.

Re: Wimbledon 2011
Yup. Nadal's in a different league to Murray. I hope he beats Djokovic.

I'd say more that Murray lost it after missing the chance to go 15-40 up and having 3 break points. Once he missed that shot which he should have easily put away he just wasn't the same player, his shoulders dropped and he didn't play anywhere near as well as he can.
That's Murray's problem, he's a great player, potential to beat anyone, but he's emotionally fragile. It doesn't take much to put him completely off his game and then he just makes error after error.

Murray is a very good player but perhaps you are underestimating the high class game that Nadal has and that is why he is number one in the world.

Quite. Nadal is very good at simply defending and getting the ball back into play. He makes very few errors so you have to win the point instead.
Not to mention that being seeded 1 and Murray only 4, Nadal was expected to win that match.
Though Djokovic will be 1 in the world on Monday.
