Murray Dumped By Masterful Nadal
Pride of Scotland Andy Murray´s dream run to the last eight of Wimbledon came to a ruthless end when he ran into Rafael Nadal.
It was men against boys stuff as the Dunblane strokemaker was blown away on Centre Court in straight sets.
Murray is being tipped by patriotic Brits to win a Major one day but the magnitude of the spanking dished out by the muscular Mallorcan clearly demonstrates how far behind he actually is. On that evidence he will never win a Major if he needs to get past a Nadal or a Roger Federer.
One of Murray´s favourite tactics seems to be to exaggerate his celebrations in an attempt to wind up his opponents. It worked a treat against Richard Gasquet in the last 16 but you need more than psychology to get past Nadal.
Nadal now takes on the winner of the Rainer Schuettler / Arnaud Clement clash.
Elsewhere, it was great to see big Marat Safin book his place in the semis against Federer after overcoming Feliciano Lopez. Safin was 200/1 with the bookies at the start of the tournament and the former US and Aussie Open champ looks to have re-found his touch.
But we´ve been saying all along that it will be a Federer / Nadal final and you can hang your hat on those two meeting on Sunday on Centre Court. To bet on these giants get down to Bodog Sport.
