US Open Tennis (Spoilers)

Murray's just taken the first set 6-2 in his SF against Nadal. Nadal looks pretty tired but Murray's been in fantastic form and has hit him all over the court.

I was hoping for another Federer v Nadal final but I can't see how Nadal can win this. Murray's just playing too well.

6-2

Forgot this was on with all the footie being played.

Is Federer into the final? I think he was 2-0 down?

Pigeon_Killer · 6 Sep 2008 at 18:30

He's up 2-1 in sets and it's 1-1 in the fourth.

Pigeon_Killer · 6 Sep 2008 at 18:33

Only a matter of time before Murray breaks again. He's taking every one of Nadal's games to deuce and winning most of his without losing a point.

Why do they play both semis at the same time?

They usually don't but they're worried about the weather causing delays so decided to play Nadal - Murray on the 2nd court.

EDIT - Fed is 3-2 (broken Djokovic) in 4th set

I thought he was losing 2-0 then the Murray match came on Sky Sports so wasn’t sure of the score looked it up on the BBC website now

Murray is playing incredible :eek:

Go Murray! Best of luck to him..

Edit - second set tie break!

Wow. Murray is playing some fantastic tennis, making Nadal look ordinary.

Pigeon_Killer · 6 Sep 2008 at 19:21

Murray takes the second set 7-6. Massive, massive set for him.

To be fair to Nadal he's looked tired all tournament and it's his least favourite surface so it's not entirely unexpected. Didn't expect Murray to play this well though which is a surprise.

Greenlizard0 · 6 Sep 2008 at 19:22

He's showing some proper man aggression now as well. None of this nancy boy Henman style upper forearm shaking.

Weebull · 6 Sep 2008 at 19:24

Woop 2 sets to 0.

Greenlizard0 · 6 Sep 2008 at 19:27

Nadal's broken back..

Anders0n · 6 Sep 2008 at 19:38

Choking...

I really hope he wins ..... imagine the stick he'll get from the press you would imagine if he loses after being two sets up.

It's not the end of the world if he loses this set but it's going to be tough.

Nadal won't back down and if he gets through it's going to be even tougher against Federer.

C'mon ANDYYYYYYYYYYY
