He is tenacious, quick and powerful but Murray has upped his game in all 3 of those departments ally that to the fact Murray has much better touch around the net and we should be in for another classic.
The 1 thing i fear is Murray doesn't quite recover in time because if it goes to 4 or 5 sets again on Wednesday Nadal must be strong favourite.

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).

You clearly didn't watch Nadal at Queens or in his four matches at Wimbledon this year. The guy has so much more this year in his locker. |

Your right mate, I didn't see him at Queens & although he won it - his main threats to Wimbledon trophy did not play Queens.
Just as Nadal may have improved his touch, Murray has improved his strength.
Grass is by far & away the most vibrant, shot making, touch orientated surface in tennis. No matter how much Nadal has improved in these areas Murray is far beyond him.
However Nadal is a fooking animal, his power is awesome, his confidence is sky high & for a 22 year old he is entirely happy in his skin.
This is certainly not one to miss!!

If it's as good as the match in the Australian Open between them we're in for a cracker.

He is yes and he's achieved more in tennis than Murray and starts the match the reigning Queens champion, reigning French Open champion and world number 2 but i just think you're being a wee bit over dimissive of Murrays chances. He is in the quarters at Wimbledon with the crowd behind him and he does have a chance.
I'm willing to bet he doesn't get 'blown away' or whatever it is you predicted.

That's true mate.
I live in spain, so I'm going to be the odd one out at the Sports Bar - only one supporting Murray.
I expect Nadal to win, but I think if Murray plays the way he did in the last 2 sets against the Frenchman =- he could really give Nadal a fright.
Bet Murray has more shotmaking than Nadal though!!
I still think when under pressure, you return to type & Nadal is a baseliner - while Murray is a shotmaker.
