Previous French Open Winner Nadal Too Strong For Murray
The previous winner of the French Open, Rafael Nadal proved to be too strong for Andy Murray who was playing in his first French Open Semi-Final.
Nadal, the no.1 seed, has by his own admission not been playing his best tennis at this years competition but he turned the heat up when he needed too.
The story of this game was really in the break points, Murray matched alot of Nadal’s tennis but when it came to the break points Nadal was too good. Murray only converted 3 out of the 18 break points he earnt against Nadal.
Although the match was over in straight sets (6-4 7-5 6-4) it lasted well over 3 hours which tells you that it was a real contest between the two men but it always seemed that Nadal was just in control in a match where gusting wind made it difficult for both players on their serve.
Nadal was celebrating his 25th birthday and got the birthday present that he really wanted, a place in the French Open final.
