This might be going fast if Andy doesn't pick it up

Very fast.

I can smell the bakery from here.

is murray going to turn up at all ?.

 

[brokenshoelace]

Those forehands Andy missed weren't even close. Seems to be rushing his shots a bit too much. Uncharacteristic.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Rafa missed an overhead. I am buying a lottery ticket.

 

[brokenshoelace]

Nadal with a Djokovic overhead.

Still early days. Don't think he's winning. But I don't think he'll be this poor.

 

[crystalfire]

Rafas forehand is on right now.

 

[tented]

3-0 in 10 minutes. Andy needs to wake up soon.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

People have to realize this by now; Going to Rafa's backhand with a lame shot , that he can run around, is way worse for your health than going to his forehand with a decent shot.

 

[brokenshoelace]

Unbelievable how much difference the hot conditions make. They sure did last year at the same stage when it was Nadal/Djokovic in the semis.

Murray of all people should know this because he was among the first to realize that attacking Nadal's forehand is the right play (AO 2007 to be exact).

It's way too early folks, Andy will get his set.

murray needs to stop floating the ball back to midcourt. unless he is looking to lose inside 90mins.

bingo!

As big a joke as I expected. Murray doesn't have enough to truly threaten Rafa on clay, not with that forehand.

 

[Federberg]

I simply can't understand why some commentators say Murrays return is on a par with Nole's. It's not even close!

I don't believe that. Yes his forehand isn't great but it's still good. I saw highlights of Rome and he was using his forehand pretty well

Not today. Because his return position has been horrible so far. He does need a coach after all...

Weather on Sunday will be hot, but with showers and very little wind. Interesting!
