INCREDIBLE!! Amazing fight back from Murray and it's good to finally see signs his fitness has improved. Nice to see him showing passion as well, that Scottish blood certainly helped him today.
Go on Murray

We shall see.
If Murrays serve is back to the level it was in the opening week it will be tighter than a lot of people will be thinking.

Great entertainment.
I was worrying for him in beginning, but he came good.
When his serve is on fire he's got the beating of many players, but when he struggles with his serve he really looks like anyone could beat him.
His shot making & skill is better than Nadal's, but if he's drawn into a baseline shootout Nadal will destroy him.
No way Nadal has the amount of shots at his disposal as Murray & on grass that could swing it.
Well done Andy.

What are you basing that on?
Nadal is better in every single department.

Noway pal.
Nadal is a baseline bomber, nothing else in his armoury - don't really need anything else.
Murry on the other hand has soft hands, playing delicate chips, drop shots & volleys.
Watch the quarter final & as long as Murry doesn't get drawn into a base line shootout, you'll see what I mean.
Against the Frenchman yesterday, he was clipping dropshots & then lobbing him when he was drawn into the net (or visa versa), Nadal just doesn't have those shots at his disposal - he just batters the hell out you from the baseline (worked well for him so far).

Murray can beat Nadal on grass thats for sure, if you watch any of the previous meetings between the 2 on the hard courts they have been very close. They have both been friends for a long time now and Nadal knows Murray is due a win over him.
im predicting 3 sets to 1 murray
The thing is i cant see Murray beating Federer on grass not this year anyway.

yeah he realised what he had done though and apologised to all the scottish people watching 
that was honestly one of the best games of tennis ive watched in years, absolutely enthralling
murray will give nadal a run for his money in the quarters, when he gets on his game he is on par with the best in the world, what holds him back is he cant play at his highest level for an entire match. if nadal wants to win it i feel he will have to do it in 5 sets.

Oan Yersel Andy!
Great fightback, was good to see him and the crowd right up for it....
Nadal will be strong but he hasn't looked just as good as previous years, he could be beat.
