Looks like it's gonna be delayed today because of the weather. It's got to be good news for Murray getting a bit more recovery time.

A message on the bbc tennis thing on their site

"1032: Incidentally, if you're texting in with 'I'm not supporting Murray because 'he's Scottish and said he hates England', you'll be getting very short shrift here. Andy made a joke, an off-the-cuff remark, which has been blown so far out of proportion, it's embarrassing. End of rant. "

I'm willing to bet he doesn't get 'blown away' or whatever it is you predicted.

I'm feeling rather smug at this moment in time!

Murray got Owned, shame - but hopefully he can learn a thing or two.

Like never to try & play Nadal at his own game, e.g. baseline bombing!

Nadal V Federer in final would be another classic, I think Nadal could do it this time.

Or at drop shots, or at the net...

1 break of serve in every set? Blown away?

He's a better player than Murray by a fair bit just now but he's got a year on him and Murray is progressing at a rate of knots. We'll see where we are in a years time

Two breaks in the second set. Nadal didn't break sweat on his serve all match whereas Murray saved tonnes of break points.

Can't see how you can be smug, when you've backed the 2nd seed against the 12th seed.

No offence, but your coming across as a bit of a twat.

Nadal beat Murray fair & sqaure, as most people thought he would.

Nadal is 2nd in world & you think your clever, cos you backed him against 14th in the world...

Murray will now move up into the top 10, he has improved greatly - so has Nadal.

Murray will learn from this & come back bigger & better.

Nadal is very soon going to be no. 1 & has a great chance to win Wimbledon this year.

Does that constitute him being wiped the floor?

He outplayed him and Murray admitted as much but his time will come. I love this new demeanour he has, he knows he's good and getting better and i believe in time he'll be top 5 and winning titles with regularity and in doing so he'll be beating Nadal and Federer.
