2013 Wimbledon QF: Verdasco vs. Murray

[Kieran]

Slowly but surely, eh..?

 

[kskate2]

Muzza breaks again and is serving for the set at 5-1

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Verdasco better regroup quickly!

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Can Nando step it up for one set to win it? Because he is not winning this in 5.

 

[tenisplayrla08]

Maybe Verdasco can right the ship in the fourth. A little less pressure now maybe.

 

[Andrew William]

Andy's back in business!

 

[Kieran]

I think Tim Henman made a great point about Verdasco: he had no pressure on him at the start, but at two sets up? He had everything to lose! He'll feel the heat in the fourth and Murray should play with much more confidence...

 

[Didi]

This may very well be a career defining moment for Murray. If he turns this around and goes on to win the trophy, it could have a huge effect on his future career, he could even end up having a similar career path to Lendl. If he loses to Verdasco in the QF of what figures to be his best chance to ever win Wimbledon with the way the draw panned out, then I'm sorry but his US Open title would just turn into a slam by accident in hindsight in my eyes and all the talk of the new and improved Murray exposed as utter rubbish. Now don't get me wrong, normally it's nonsense to read too much into a single match but I strongly believe that career defining moments do exist and do have major impacts. This is pretty much DO or DIE for Murray who's just on the point of no return. I don't know who to root for though. I picked Murray to win the event but a J.J. - Verdasco major semifinal would be pretty cool. At the end of the day I want to see a competitive final on sunday, so GO MUZZA...

Better hold serve this set Nando!

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Nando with a break point...He is %100 so far with those...not his time though.

 

[Denis]

Come on Nando! You can do this. One good set of tennis.

Haven't been watching but how is the crowd liking this? And what about Judy Murray?

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

Verdasco better regroup quickly!

He is doing a Sampras, give a set away and then put the hammer down.
But, will Andy let him?

 

[Denis]

I hope so.

[Kieran]

Murray is like the rest of the boys left in the draw: clueless when it comes to constructing a point that ends with a volley...

 

[Riotbeard]

JJ wins in straights.

 

[Denis]

(Janowicz makes his first GS semi)

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

Solid hold for Verdasco to go 2-1. Let's see if he can keep the pressure on Andy's serve now.

Not this time around, 40-0

 

[Riotbeard]

30 aces for jj.

 

[Kieran]

30 aces for jj.

So many that they spilled over into this thread!

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

Break point!
This could be it...
