Brave Murray beaten by ruthless and powerful Nadal

Spannish 22 year old Rafael Nadal, who looks like he will take over the world number one spot Federer in the near future, took apart Britain’s Andy Murray in a stunning display of powerful, accurate and frankly ruthless tennis today at Wimbledon.

3-6 2-6 4-6

After Andy Murrays famous comeback on Monday against Gasquet, Andy Murray was up against the awesome Nadal. It was back down to earth with a bang for the Scotsman who never got going in the match. This was due to him being tired from his early week excerpts, but was mainly due to Nadal who simply never let him get going.

Nadals shots were coming from all angles of the court with ferocious power. Murray had to work for nearly every point he made. As John Mcenroe said on the BBC’s commentary, “There is Federer and Nadal, there is Djokovic then there is the rest.” Today it was clearly evident there is a gap between the top 2 or 3, and the ‘rest’.

Murray can be immensely pround of his Wimbledon performaces though. He reached the quarter finals of a Grand Slam event for the first time in his short career. At only 21 there is certainly hope for tennis glory for the Scot. He made many fans from his epic comeback, and the future of British Tennis is in capable hands, in the name of Andy Murray.
