Kowalski Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/tennis/7591051.stm Andy Murray produced one of the best performances of his career to sweep aside Stanislas Wawrinka and reach the quarter-finals of the US Open. The British number one, 21, dominated from the outset and wrapped up a 6-1 6-3 6-3 victory in one hour 49 minutes. And the quality of Murray's play will have boosted his credentials as a real title contender at Flushing Meadows. The Scot will next meet 19-year-old Argentine, Juan Martin del Potro, who is on a 23-match winning streak. Great stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glasgowdon Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Murray now through to his first ever Grand Slam semi final. 7-6 (7-2) 7-6 (7-1) 4-6 7-5. He will face either Nadal or Fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpie Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 It's Nadal. I predict a draw. Mardy Fish reminds me of Mr. Scruff. Fish, fish, fish, fish, fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheep_shagger Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 He wasnt that convincing last night and his serve was broken too often. If he plays like that against Nadal it will be a quick straight sets defeat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrant Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 He wasnt that convincing last night and his serve was broken too often. If he plays like that against Nadal it will be a quick straight sets defeat. It will. He has to play at the top of his game to even get near Nadal. Beat Nadal is maybe a bridge to far for now. But I see no reason why Andy can't keep improving. The U.S Open is his favourite tournemant and his favourite surface and Nadal prefers clay. That could go in Andy's favour.

If Murray plays like he did against Wawrinka then he's got a chance. He made too many errors last night and lacked the killer instinct. 3-1 up in the third set only to lose it 6-4!. He won't get as many opportunities against Nadal, but here's hoping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glasgowdon Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Murray will have to give it 100% and Nadal will need to be having an off day. That said, Murray probably has all a player will ever need, he just needs to be able to do it over the course of the match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
