Doesn't 2nd seed meet 3rd seed in the semi? so if Nadal is 3 i guess Murray Nadal semi.

I can never remember if it is 1v3 and 2v4 in semis, or 1v4 and 2v3.

Last year Nadal (1) was to meet Ferrer (4)
Federer (2) was to meet Djokovic (3)
This years draw is tomorrow.

I honestly believe Nadal is a better draw than Djokovic at this point, this is his worst surface and he is yet to regain his form. Murray vs Federer final ftw, though Federer's form in Cincinatti was ominous for any contender.

Murray isn't playing his best despite a win and a semi in his last 2.
It is good to avoid Federer until the final but you don't want a tough game in the semi beforehand like last year.

Murray's a year younger. I think he's got a better chance of a long career. Nadal's knees look pretty ropey for the future. |

Murray has an incred all round game!! If you watch any of his past games with Nadal there is hardly anything between them! Murray has bad ankles but not bad bad, no where near as bad as nadals knee. Only reason his ankle is bad no and then is cos the amount of tourneys he plays. Federer is the all time greatest but Murray will be number 1 before long.
Boldie and Stuart there are more tournaments on tennis than just Wimbledon

I have seen Nadal absoutley crush Murray on at least 3 occasions, Wimbledon 08', Indian Wells 09 and I think it was Hamburg 08 (admittedly on clay). I can't recollect any game even being slightly close, the closest being the one Murray did win at last years US open.

Erm...so the last time they played in a big tournament Murray won. Murray's been steadily improving and still has a way to go. There was a Spanish coach who trained Murray & Nadal as youngsters and he reckons Murray has a far better all round game than Nadal. Don't get me wrong, I reckon Nadal's definitely in the top 10 players who've ever played the game, but Murray's nearly there. |

Murray is by far at his career peak just now and better than he was 1 year ago when he beat Nadal. Point proven
