Andy Murray/Tennis thread 2014

It's not over yet, I don't think he'll beat Nadal but I think he'll get back into this

[JohnDoe]

Match is 'lost'. Federer has no pressure, and he breaks back.

A tearful Federer to reveal that he's spent the last 7 years battling a rare form of blindness that makes him unable to see Mallorcans

[JohnDoe]

He just needs to say "**** it, it's not going to matter if I make 100 unforced errors and lose or play safe and lose" and let it fly.

Nadal's forehand passing shot, in maximum lateral speed, is ridiculous.

[RichC]

Nadal is going to do this in 3 isn't he.

Shame, hoped for a tighter match tbh and the way Federer has been playing this tournament I thought we would have done.

Definitely not over yet - Fed doing ok in the third

[Carras_Shin_Pads]

ah **** - hadn't refresh!

"You search for historical data when these two play against each other, you look for the next piece of history they're making. If Nadal was to win this title, he would become only the third man to win all the Slams at least twice."

Federer, Djokovic and Murray all out before the final.

Should be a good final - hope Stan doesn't choke and really throws the kitchen sink at Nadal the same way he did Djokovic. If he does it will be an epic.

[JohnDoe]

Nadal is going to be on 15 after the French Open, isn't he.

[Shaggy]

Wawrinka is now the Swiss no.1

[RichC]

****ing hell Nadal crushed him out there.

Stan is going to have to play his best tennis I think to stand a chance.

Hope he gives it a really good go though

Oh and Rafa

[JohnDoe]

Federer, Djokovic and Murray all out before the final.

Should be a good final - hope Stan doesn't choke and really throws the kitchen sink at Nadal the same way he did Djokovic. If he does it will be an epic.

Their head to head record is 12-0 to Nadal

Edit: Actually, it's worse than that. Wawrinka never won a SET against Nadal in 12 matches.
