Murray vs Nadal should be a classic but the Scot will need to up his game CONSIDERABLY and pull out all the stops and more if he's going to win. Nadal won't choke in front of the Centre Court crowd, that's for sure.

Yeah, if Nadal gets the first set he'll probably win so Murray will have to go out there from the start and push it!
But what he lacks in skill, he makes up for with resilience as you say! He doesn't know when to give up which is great.
As much as Nadal should win the match, I don't think you can write Murray off until the game is actually over now.

Originally posted by Shoju View PostMurray has a better temperament. Gasquet has been hyped for some time now but has never been able to deal with the expectation and come through. How many set points has Murray saved and how poor was Gasquet when he served for the match? It's his talent that has gotten him into this position but his temperament is letting him down at times. Murray's really fighting when he's down though and his defence is excellent.
I've been supporting Ancic, Safin and Murray from the beginning, glad to see all of them go through especially as it looked as if 2 of them would go out. Safin at his best can beat Federer. That could be an excellent semi final.

Awesome stuff.
Murray did a lot for himself by winning that match - not just by getting through to the quarter finals but also by showing what he's made of. I don't think us Brits are that bothered by winners, but what we hate seeing is our heros rolling over and dieing in the face of adversity. Murray was on the very brink and brought it back.

Love the last point too. I full expected him to go completely spastic when he won the match, but instead he casually brings out the guns .
