chalk another one up to murray, world number 2 now.

Gritty win from Murray, always good to get a Masters title and the ranking thing becomes important now that he's at no.2 and Nadal at no.5 again (for now). That means he could potentially avoid Federer, Nadal and Djokovic in his half of the draw at the French Open with a bit of luck, provided the rankings stay as they are between now and then. Of course avoiding Federer would mean fetching up against Ferrer who is no slouch on clay, but there you go.

Nadal/Djoko is going to be mental.

This really could be an epic.

Bit of a shame it's not the final to be honest

I'll give you that one for free.

 

Hoping Nole wins; I'm not a big fan of Nadal and his gamesmanship.

Bieber, St Ledger and Nadal?

Bieber, St Ledger and Nadal?

 

St Ledger nope.

 

I just like him as a footballer.

 

But this is a Tennis thread, so let's get back to admiring Rafa's shot making and bum picking. 

[Bobby Hundreds]

It's a real shame the Spanish judge in the blood doping scandal directed that all evidence be destroyed.

[leicsmac]

Going to be a long one this. Nole doesn't lay down easily, and matches between these two are usually very close

 

I'll be honest, I've not paid much attention to this one because it's my least favourite Slam and Murray isn't there. That said, there have been some superb matches.

 

Kind of hoping Tsonga can pull off a miracle and reach the final. Ferrer reaching it would be the ultimate proof that grinding can overcome finesse.

Massive comeback from Nole here. Alright all he's done is win 3 games in a row but he looked a defeated man at 3-2, a break and a set down. All change now. As ever the standard is friggin' unreal. 

[foxfanazer]

5 setter here I think. Couldn't call at this moment which way it'll go

Djokovic has been well, well below anything like his best. Over 30 unforced errors in two and a half sets?

 

Nadals is playing reasonable well.

 

Do hate how whenever the top four get together people brand the standard "unreal" although on many a occasion it is far from it.

I meant the standard of the comeback from 2-3 to 6-3. He barely missed a shot. Other than that run he's been a shadow of what we know he can do.

standard isn't brilliant but they are hammering the ball at each other!

Don't get why Djokovic is serving the way he is? Very bizzarre

[ScouseFox]

Yes Novak. Great nerve. Into a decider we go

[kingfox]

Nadal choked.

 

Momentum Swinger.

 

Hopefully it doesn't affect Rafa, 

[Guest MattP]

Go on Novak. Let's bang this drug cheat out on his favourite court.
