That couldn’t have been nastier!
Rafael Nadal produced his best performance of the season on clay to leave just 6 games to Andy Murray. This was one of those days where one player had it all right and the other really didn’t. The world no.1 was serving exceptionally well and his forehand was absolutely devastating. Murray couldn’t do much and he was struggling even with his returns (Andy’s trademark).
So the match finished with Rafa winning 49 of his 59 serving points losing just 4 points on his first serve! Finally the Spaniard scored a total 83 points vs. Murray’s 43.
The final vs. Djokovic Rafa will now play Novak Djokovic in the final. Head to head is 22-19 for Rafa (13-4 on clay) , but Nole has won the last 4. Impossible to pick a favorite… isn’t it?
