Britain will hold its breath waiting for Friday as Andy Murray carries the weight of a nation in his Wimbledon semi-final against the world number one Rafael Nadal one. Nadal understandably popular, but Murray has probably seen better in the towers prior to this meeting. Another classic Centre Court is surely in store.
Andy Murray has been considered as a winner of Grand Slam since she burst on the scene at Wimbledon in 2005. Since Murray has become one of the best players in the world and has won six Masters titles. He defeated the likes of Djokovic, Nadal and Federer on numerous occasions, but is still looking for this girl the Grand Slam. Lost three Grand Slam finals, once at the U.S. Open and twice in the Australia Open, and even to 24, with the rhythm that moves in tennis, which is in danger of being caught by young men.
Murray is regarded as good as he ever Wimbledon this year, breeze in straight sets semi-final to win the fourth round so he and his last quarter. Nadal, the progress has not been so smooth. Suddenly he fell to the Spanish group against Mardy Fish in the semifinals and had to dig deep against Juan Martin Del Potro in four sets to come through in the fourth round.
Nadal has not looked dominant at Wimbledon this year, and there were signs that his grass season would not be so easy, when he lost to Jo Wilfred Tsonga Queens. Nadal remains a formidable test for Murray as the Scot beat Nadal in straight sets the previous two meetings, SW19.
With Roger Federer and Djokovic will not be entirely convincing, whoever wins this match will be preferred to lift the trophy in the eyes of many people. Murray, in a way that is pushed to the end and Nadal could win a permanent place
World No. 1 Rafael Nadal Andy Murray Colombia hopes for a place in the final of 2011 at Wimbledon, the third season of Grand Slam played here at the All England Lawn Tennis Club London, England.
Not many agree that Rafael Nadal is a man who has proven time and time itself in a sport that has become as unpredictable as the rise and fall of the New York Stock Exchange. After his defeat of the Australia Open, Novak Djokovic along unbreaten runoff, tennis experts, wrote of him, naming his reign to be as good as MAS. However, the red clay of the real Europe brought the glory days of Nadal and amid all the hooplah and criticism, Nadal managed to win their sixth record of the French Open crown. As the media moves to focus on the "English-grass, Nadal also provided enough game to get into the championship game as the defending champion. Even if, once you can not call the road to Nadal in the semifinals as "perfect" things have worked quite well how to Rafa. With three titles under his belt, the top of Nadal is at stake this week and if the input end of Sunday Djokovic, Nadal will miss the first regardless of the outcome of the Wimbledon fortnight.
Champions get the best out of themselves in case of conflict, its supremacy. We have seen some very good stories in the past champions like Roger Federer (2009 Triumph), Pete Sampras (2000 wins) and Venus Williams (2005 income) and this year, Nadal's legacy is certainly in play.
Nadal's favorite opponent Andy Murray is definitely the man to watch, not only by fans at home, but viewers around the world. Murray has been impressive during the fortnight at SW19 this year and lost only a couple of games on the way to his third consecutive appearance in the semifinals of Wimbledon. The way Murray crushed the Spanish Feliciano Lopez in the form and a semifinalist in 2007 Richard Gasquet in the previous round is proof enough that the Scot is certainly the surge forward with their best contendership far in his career in SW19. Murray run of nine matches unbeaten on grass this year and has regained his title at Queen's Club and look semi-final against Nadal, Murray is ready to roll.
Both players played 15 games before and Nadal has an overwhelming lead in 11.4 of the head to head. Of the 15 games, only two were contested on grass, and also in 2008 and 2010 Wimbledon QF SF, both won by Nadal, who won the championship that year too.
It will be interesting to see who arrives more than one winner in this match as both players are seasoned skiing. Where is the reverse of Murray was the most dominant for the whole lot straight ahead of Nadal is simply uncontested. Service is another key aspect of the semi-final Friday, and is likely to be a decisive factor as well.
Unlike the demolition of Murray straight sets, Nadal the previous two meetings, both are gone in four sets against American Mardy Fish, and Argentine Juan Martin Del Potro. Still, "over time" has never had a problem with Nadal's relentless "day job" and then we wait another Nadal-Djokovic in the final 2011 edition of the Wimbledon Championships.
