Always been a big fan of Murray, apart from the occasional injury histrionics on the court, and believe he gets a lot of unfair flack from the public sometimes. Hope he can go on and win Wimbledon this year.
Quite funny after reading in the Times yesterday how it was a disgrace Nadal would only be seeded 5th...
Handy for Federer...
nowadays the seedings are done, with agreement from the Pro Tennis 'union', according to current form/world ranking .. Wimbledon used to get a bit of leeway over this, but no longer I think. Nadal has missed a lot of time over the past year or so following his dreadful knee injury and consequently has fewer ranking points than usual
He battered him you can only beat whats infront of you and if nadal was not fit he shouldnt have entered
Nadal underestimated his opponent and tried to not go full tilt to try to conserve his energy and fitness but by the time he needed to pull something out the bag his knee was not strong enough to do it

Ironically he'll actually lose points now as he got knocked out in the 2nd round last year.

t b h I am surprised that Nadal has come back as well as he has. Given the way he plays and his build I thought that his career was finished when he sustained his knee problem. He has been at the top since he was in his mid teens, a lot of games and bodily stress as well as success. I suspect that we have well seen the very best of him. To state the obvious, that is the fate of all sportsmen. Injury or simple old age catches up some day.
Thought the programme on Murray last night was very good. Really hope more than ever that he makes it the final this year; as we got tickets for it - in the ballot!
Just got home from Centre court today. My first ever visit. Murray was tested but played quite well. Federer was very smooth and Sharapova is positively Amazonian!!!!
