*Murray-Watch : Nadal bt Murray 7-6 6-3*Masters Series by Bourne (U3020163) 19 July 2008 Andy Murray again failed to get the better of Rafael Nadal in Toronto last night, going down in straights sets to the number two seed in the semi-finals. Murray will however go to Cincinnati next week full of confidence after a week which saw him reach another Masters Series semi-final and finally get the better of Novak Djokovic in the quarter finals. Murray's Projected Route to the Final : [Rd 1] Bye [Rd 2] Johansson 6-4 6-4 [Rd 3]Wawrinka (9) 6-2 0-6 6-4 [QF] Djokovic (3) 6-3 7-6 [SF] Nadal (2) 6-7 3-6 H-T-H: Johansson - 2-1 (2-0 on HC) Wawrinka - 3-3 (3-1 on HC) Djokovic - 1-4 (1-3 on HC) Nadal - 0-5 (0-3 on HC) Murray, the 8th seed, has never won a Masters Series event before, his best result being three semi-final appearances, all on hardcourts. Good Luck Andy. Andy and his brother Jamie also go in the doubles in Canada this week, getting in valuable game time together for the doubles tournament in Beijing. Murray and Murray are unseeded.

Acnemanprice (U11484208) posted Oct 26, 2008 Reconsidered. Murray looks damn good. It's just that having lived through the era of False Dawns in British tennis I always think we over-hype our promising players' chances. I'll tell you what if we weren't so stuck in the past with tradition we would pull up that grass at Wimbledon, stick down some Deco Turf and Murray would at least reach the final on present form. The Spanish are taking up the Plexi-Cushion at the Madrid Open to put down Nadal's favourite surface. Then again I suppose that's not a very British thing to do.
