Yup, and the kiss of death from the commentator didn't help. Nadal's a machine, Murray is best of the rest. Can't see him taking a major until Federer, Nadal and Djokovic all retire. Still, with winnings at $15m and rising, can't be bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldar Hadzimehmedovic Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Murray does have some issues with attitude he could do with some help on but it's harsh to say he's bottling it. Nadal is just so good. When he's fully fit and on form it's not a stretch to claim he's the best ever. On this form I reckon he's untouchable - 5 points lost on his own serve, 5 unforced errors the entire match do far, every single inch of the court in play - nobody who loses to that is "bottling" it.

Gordon Ramsay Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Can't believe how he's just literally died out there. I mean I thought it'd happen at some point but this is just awful. He was looking good for a set and a half and then all of a sudden, bang, he becomes totally shite. Just like Hibs will never win the Scottish Cup again, this guy will never win a Grand Slam. He really is the ultimate bottler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Romanov Saviour of HMFC Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Nadal is just a phenomenon. He wasn't bothered in the slightest by the loss of the first set. Murray would have crumbled had the tables turned. That's the difference. Not a chance he'll win 2 sets in a row against this guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victorian Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 nadal isn't even playing his top stuff but he's still too good by far for murray to cope with. he looks knackered and it's maybe the sheer stress of dealing with nadal that's drained him.

Gordon Ramsay Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Agree. He does have some serious desire issues but you almost can't blame him, it must feel like beating this guy is literally impossible. Not really if he'd made that shot in the second set he would have went 3-1 up and then probably would have won his service game to go 4-1 up. He would have then likely went 2 sets up on Nadal and would have had a great chance to beat him. He's just a bottler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victorian Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 and another thing is that nadal can make an angle where there isn't one to make... almost. he plays closer to the lines and he knows he'll find them. awesome player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He really is the ultimate bottler. It's all about intensity. Watch Nadal through a Grand Slam. He plays with the same ferocious intensity on every shot of every point. It's unbelievable, and unheard of. But the reason some of us were criticising Murray during the first week is, while he can do that for part of a five set match, he generally can't for a whole one: especially against the very best. Nadal is used to the level Murray played at for the first set and a bit: that's the level he always plays at himself. But Murray isn't. I don't think I would call it 'bottling' or 'choking'; I just think, a bit like Tsonga earlier, it was impossible for the world's fourth best player to maintain such an extraordinary level against probably the greatest man ever to pick up a tennis racket. I have seen this happen in tennis matches before, by the way. Sometimes a whole match changes on just one shot, one mistake. But even if Murray had made that shot, you have to think Nadal would've found a way to win anyway. He always does. I dread to think what the papers will do to Murray after this though!

And that's not down to Nadal being fantastic, but Murray giving up. Imagine being a top golfer - maybe in the world's top five - and making a 65 at the Masters. Then imagine having to do the same thing all over again in order to stay out in front. How demoralising would that be? But playing Nadal, that's what it's like. Only Djokovic can live with the guy now: if this was Federer, Nadal would be making mincemeat of him as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaun.lawson Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Still think he could have won today if he didn't let his pants get so brown when he missed a shot. Murray can't maintain Nadal's level of intensity for a full five set match. He can maintain it for about a set and a half. That's why he's number four, and Nadal's probably the greatest who ever lived. Meaning even if he'd made that shot earlier, he'd still have lost (assuming, of course, he does lose). NB. That isn't to say that Murray is anything other than, well, mercurial. Goran Ivanisevic, watching in the Royal Box, would sympathise, I suspect.
