High quality
High physicality
And they're both serving pretty well, and holding serve quite comfortably, bar that one game when Nadal broke
Of late Murray has been getting into Nadal's service games and giving himself half-chances, for example it's 15-30 on Nadal's serve....and now it's 15-40 after an immense defensive lob
Oh dear rafa
thanks
Nadal's just a beast. He can just stand at the back smashing it with ridiculous pace into the corners all day long!
Some awesome rallies in this match
Simply too good.
I wish the fecking British crowd would stop screaming at the tops of their lungs mid-rally though.

Rafa is uncharacteristically making a lot of unforced errors this set.
This is the match right here for Murray in my opinion, 2-0 down against Nadal would be incredibly difficult, so this tiebreak is hugely important
Tie break again. Murray needs to win this one to have any chance in the match.
Murray's forehand is letting him down, that and the serve are what's holding him back right now
Set point for Murray...
Nadal double faults at 5-5, Murray has a set point on his serve
Nadal's just too good 
Nadal's a beast.
Nadal's just too good
And too lucky, net cord gives Nadal a set point on his serve
Nadal takes the second set, 2-0 now! And he doesn't lose in five sets, so I think we can safely say that that, my friends, it that.
Practically game over now.
Haha random spastics screaming thinking the ball was still in.
Rafa takes it.
Murray served beautifully that set and Rafa squeaks it out. Confidence shattering.

Looks like it's back to being Scottish, then.
That's got to be disappointing for Murray, he had chances to win that set and probably should've done with the chances, two break points before the tie-break and then a set point.
And the stats of the set have Murray on top.
Going to be incredibly tough for Murray now, I can see him getting a set, but not the match

Bloody hell that was too close to comfort.
2 sets to love up. Vamos Rafa!
If Murray can't get his first serve in he's always in real trouble

Good finish there from Rafa. That Nike ad's right about the difference between winning and losing. At least Rafa was smart enough not to appear in it.
Somebody mentioned the BBC. I'm watching Spanish telly, and as unlikely as it sounds the Spanish commentators are very restrained. On Rafa's side, but unbiassed - if you know what I mean - but they do keep putting a gonk icon up in the top corner of the screen carrying a Vamos Rafa placard.

Well that was going to be Nadal's point even without the net cord imo
Nadal, you spastic.
What's wrong with Rafa. Pathetic service game
Murray was right there though, would have been a very tough volley for sure, but who knows, all we can say is Nadal had a some good fortune at a very convenient time
Murray breaks Nadal
Yes but your opinion is hardly the most neutral around here, eh Nadal bumboy?
Very poor from nadal. Should not give Murray any kind of confidence now. Stupid service game.
Good fightback from Murray.
Vamos Rafa!
Vamos Rafa!
More like it
What stopped Nadal serving that way in the last game
Nadal decided to wake up from his slumber.

I imagine it's very easy to be restrained when you have Grand Slam Champions coming out of your rectum and a team still in the World Cup.
Yeah but I can't see him breaking Murray's serve. Ace after ace after ace
Such a poor passing shot at 40-30
And a double world champion in the Formula One.
Solid hold again. He needs to break back fast.
