Nadal looks like he's starting to hit his stride in this tournament!

[Chazza]

Going to be some comeback now

[EwarWoo]

Nadal takes the second. Going to take something Epic from Andy.

Murray looks good though, no disgrace if he loses to Nadal in the French Open Semi. Hope Murray can put a charge together for the grass court season.

[Chazza]

Break down in the 3rd, looks like that might be it

[Imy]

Did any of you really think Murray was going to be Nadal?

[Bender]

Murray continuing where Henman left off

[Neil Young]

That's a bit harsh. He's a lot better than Henman. He's best on hard courts but has put up a really good performance when injured against the best clay court player ever.

Henman used to bottle it on his best surface against anybody.

Henman was a much more classy player.

Harsh but true
Australian Open F (2010, 2011)
French Open SF (2011)
Wimbledon SF (2009, 2010)
US Open F (2008)
Other tournaments
Tour Finals SF (2008, 2010)
had his oppurtunites to rid himself of the loser tag by at least winning 1 or 2 finals but he lost them all and in style.......

Nadal will simply be the best player to have ever played on clay and has a very good chance to go past Federer in grand slams won.

Murrays best chance to actually win one will be the Aus or US

Really?

Henman was powder puff and could only really play serve and volley

Murray has far more to his game.

Totally.

Nadal has an unbelievable record in the French Open, so losing to him here is no disgrace (Nadal being the winner in 05, 06, 07, 08, 10). Plus Murray has beaten Nadal before in a semi final before (US Open) so is hardly intimidated by him. Murrays record over the last few years puts him in a different class to Henman, being 4th in the world behind Nadal, Federer and Djikovic whilst still being 24 and showing lots of year on year improvement in your game is hardly a disgrace!!!
