Do You Think Murray Has A Shot Against Nadal??

nosniboR11 · 06-29-11, 09:22 PM

nope nadal wins in five sets

beefcake · 06-29-11, 09:24 PM

Murray could cover that though if it goes 5..

ttwarrior1 · 06-29-11, 09:24 PM

probaly got 4 sets, if it went 5, murray could have an advantage

How about a murray grandslam? 1st and his last.

Tossup but id stay away from it. Just look how nadal just dominated today

I would say Murray has a shot.....but I have no idea who he is, and have never watched a single men's tennis match in my life.

Absolutely not. Nadal is on top of his game. Murray can't win the big one. I don't care if it's his home crowd or not. He's choked here several times.

Cuse0323 · 06-29-11, 09:33 PM

Liking that line on Nadal, I don't see Murray winning this at all.

yisman · 06-29-11, 09:39 PM

Yes.

Ace_of_Spades · 06-29-11, 09:41 PM

Yes i do, in fact i'm going big on Murray.

I'm confident that Murray will eventually win one. Whether it's this one or not is hard to say. I think he loses in the final even if he beats Nadal, but Murray will continue to go deep into grand slams and I'm pretty sure he's going to get one barring serious injury.

Ace_of_Spades · 06-29-11, 09:46 PM

Murray is going to the final.

EaglesPhan36 · 06-29-11, 09:48 PM

Always a shot, but Nadal will have to be something less than his best and Murray will need to be his best.

Wiggums5 · 06-29-11, 10:08 PM

I don't like either guy but I guess someone has to win. I'd go with Nadal.

zert · 06-29-11, 10:09 PM

Yes he has a shot.

gregm · 06-29-11, 10:10 PM

Nadal did not look good today at all. I had Nadal -5.5 as my biggest wager so far at Wimbledon and I am happy I won, but if fish would not have been so nervous or at least tentative with his shotmaking during those first two sets, he could have taken this to 5 sets easy.

Nadal made tons of bad, "un-nadal" like errors on his forehand, and looked really sloppy.

Some wit made a comment during the match for Nadal to "batter" fish like fish and chips, but fish just looked so poor after those first two sets he was done for, nadal didn't dominate those last two sets at all. Fish is just not a top 10 player no matter how much weight he loses or his serve is working.

My money will be on Murray ML but for a smaller amount than I have wagered in the previous rounds, I actually think Murray has a very good chance.

nadal is a champ

Scottish · 06-29-11, 11:02 PM

If Murray gets 60%+ of his 1st serves in he has a great chance, Nadal really struggles to return the first serve more on grass than any other surface, every player hes played has got alot of cheap points off serve and Murrays first serve really is good the problem for Murray will be if he drops to 50% 1st serves and ends up getting his weak 2nd serve waxed.

billy18067 · 06-29-11, 11:04 PM

he definately has a shot this is gonn be a great match

rem sleep · 06-29-11, 11:07 PM

Nadal will beat Murry easily.

This is Murray's shot

Nadal weakened in todays match, he does not win his serve easy like you should on the grass

Murray looks outstanding

No pick yet but might have one before it starts

EaglesPhan36 · 06-29-11, 11:41 PM

Weakened in today's match?

Guess he won't recover with a full day off from the beating Fish laid on him today. Murray hasn't played anyone even a rung below Nadal in class on this surface. Most have been two-three rungs lower than what he'll see against Nadal. I had Murray getting to the final against Federer pre-tournament and still think it is possible, but you can't really say much other than Murray has beaten lesser players in the manner you'd expect someone of his caliber to. Nadal has been pushed by tougher competition to where he already has had to dig deep and shown his resolve.

NY Playa · 06-29-11, 11:56 PM

murray can and will win in 4

nulldah · 06-29-11, 11:56 PM

nadal, no doubt see this as his chance, no more federer... i'm still thinking if there is anyone not playing 100% that can beat nadal on grass, it's feds...

MoneylineExpress · 06-30-11, 12:20 AM

Sure he has a shot, but how can you play against Nadal at those odds? He's one of the best tennis players ever and he is in good form. Nadal or no bet.

AzNDooM · 06-30-11, 12:58 AM

Nadal is in form but just worried about a possible injury he had as per his interview prior to Mardy Fish. May affect him, but yeah would stay off this one.

Domestic · 06-30-11, 01:24 AM

Can't bet against Nadal, not until he gets old anyway.

bobby heenan · 06-30-11, 01:41 AM

love nadal at that price....kinda like the way i love wladimir saturday against haye...cant go wrong getting nadal or wlad at -200

Wrigley · 06-30-11, 01:53 AM

I love Nadal, Murray might get a set

sweethook · 06-30-11, 01:56 AM

that price is cheap

eleuropeano · 06-30-11, 02:01 AM

If Murray has ever had a shot against Nadal, it is now. Murray has looked more solid than usual, Nadal less than usual, so it is possible. Murray is looking like he is finally maturing.But in the end it will be a long match that will be decided by a few crucial points, so if you are thinking anything more than just taking a pop for fun, maybe it's best to stay away from it.

jcubs55 · 06-30-11, 02:09 AM

Murray is playing now and he definitely has homecourt advantage... but I still think Nadal is the man right now.

thirtytwo · 06-30-11, 02:38 AM

Every time i see Nadal below -200 at Grand Slam I want to pound it. Murray already showed in past he cant handle the pressure of british crowd all over him in big matches. Seems like "home field" advantage actually turns into disadvantage for him. Nadal should come through comfortably here...

At least you admit it

I sense many of the clowns with opinions on these types of games and reply to these threads are in a similar boat to you.

All the tennis courts around town are full these days with wimbledon wannabes. It'll last another week.

Anyway, Nadal didn't look particularly fit vs Fish. He was restricted. Murray is a much bigger test and Rafa needs injections to play (whilst common in American sports, its a lot less common for Nadal. Presumably he had the same injections before playing vs Fish). I'll pass on this game, but I think Murray has a decent shot.

Giuvara · 06-30-11, 03:31 AM

I always enjoy a good semifinal between these two. Think Nadal is going to win this one also, as much as I would like to see Murray finally get a GS under his belt. He's like a big kid, don't want him to be the eternal loser.
