Is there any chance Nadal loses to Murray?:shrug:
Geez I hope I don't regret this but.....you're damn right Nadal can lose! :scared
This is easily the match-of-the-tournament thus far. Nadal has been very impressive.....I admit I didn't think he was this primed up. But Murray has been just as impressive......but I did expect him to be. Since Gilbert entered the picture, the Scot has been a massive force. Remember Murray is the only guy to beat the Fed is straight sets in something like the last 5 years. .
On this surface, Murray is actually better skilled (arguably). These guys maybe the best 2 defensive diggers in the world....Nads gets the #1 but not by a lot.
Here is the catch.....Nads has the toughest mental game of anyone in the world and Murray has shown some faults in this department. I do follow Murray's career though and his confidence/maturity has exploded under Gilbert.
Ballz of steel grit against the sweet finesse of natural talent. I wouldn't go crazy but Murray as a dog has been a money-maker money for 2.5 years now (I even bet him against the Fed). I priced Nads @ -185.
And this is only a 4th round match-up! You'd be lucky to even find a hoe's final with this type of quality.
