Murray carrying an injury apparently and playing on clay. Could be an interesting match in the heat - the ball will fly a little quicker which should help Murray. Obviously Nadal very heavy favourite on this surface but I fancy Murray to run him close if he's fully fit.

It should be interesting, I wish him well for it although it's always likely to be a tough game, especially without a coach currently. If he does well in this match it would go a long way to those who have questioned his desire after the defeat to Djokovic, then again "it's not a Grand Slam event..." as if that somehow means the players stop trying.

Final score: 4-6 6-2 1-6 to Nadal
Decent showing from the boy there, I hope the elbow troubles aren't too serious and I'll look forward to him hopefully stringing together a few good results again.

Yeah, he played really well until the injury flared back up. Really hope it isn't serious.

Impressed with Murray, he seems to be back mentally after the Aussie Open loss. Beating Nadal on clay is nigh on impossible, so no shame in losing regardless.
In keeping with the anti-Nadal themeI fancy David Ferrer to cause an upset today.
And keeping with tradition, you were wrong

You mean how I was wrong about Murray running him close in the last match?
Did you pick Nadal then? A brave call at the odds
