Nadal's returning on the 2nd serve has been very poor today

And again. 2 back to back poor returns on the second serve. This is not the way he's going to break back
Murray won all 3 points on the second serve. Nadal needs to attack this weak second serve a bit more than he is right now
11 straight points on serve in this set now. If only he could have held on in the first game 
4-3 now. Needs to break really soon
0-15. Come on Rafaaa
Bloody ace again
15-30....two more points please!
Damit that was a great chance to pass him
30-30
30-30
The football commentators are a lot more excitable, and blinkered - but of course being a gracious winner is an easier act to put on than being a not-sore loser.
They also (like true internet fans) believe in jinxing and inverse jinxing
Even with the football team, they keep referring to the "dream" not to being favourites etc.
Vamos Rafa!
Break point. Please dont waste this rafa!
Another dam good serve
Chance gone
Come on Nadal.
Back to Deuce. Come on Rafa take your chances and attack the dam 2nd serve!
Another break point. Come on bloody hell
The mini Beckham's getting well into it.
Well done Rafa
Well done Rafa
Break back! Yesssss!
Come on just hold now and make Murray serve to stay in it!

Absolute class by Rafa on that point. genius.
I don't know why people would ever want Murray to win, because A he's a cnut, B he's a Scottish cnut, and C he's not very good.
5-4 Nadal. Beauty of a game.
Come on a break now!
Come on a break now!
15-15. 3 points away...
I kind of like the idea in the abstract - "it'd be nice if a Brit won Wimbledon" - sort of way.
But as soon as I see Murray the idea vanishes. I don't know if it's the hair, the expression, the after match interviews or what. Odd really, because I can see he's a good player and he plays nice tennis.
15-30. Two more points COME ON!
Damit easy shot put long. 30- 30
Oh
Match point - COME ON RAFA
Match point. COME ON!!!!
Straight sets 
I won twenty quid off a mate, 'cos I said Murray wouldn't win a set

NAdal Wins. Bye bye Murray, don't worry, next year's definitely your year.
Well done Nadal, unlucky Murray!
Murray's shit.
not playing like that he wont , he was murdered out there
That was a very passive way to go out, and i've never seen a top player hit the ball into the net so often.
But let's be realistic, Murray's best chance of a Grand Slam is on the hardcourts where Rafa isn't as good.
Del Potro - injured
Federer - past it
If Murray can't win the US Open this year there really will be serious questions to answer.

Easy easy easy, different class, today just shows if it needed showing just how far Murray has to go to beat the likes of Nadal.
Not a classic by any stretch of the imagination Nadal wasn't quite right in that match but Murray just not able to take advantage. Murray just lost his serve at the important times and didn't manage to be consistant, as for tie breaks Murray would have been better just going ok have this Nadal i cant play them at all this year.
Nadal's still not at the top of his game, too many unforced errors. But given it looked like the tendinitis could end his career last year, it's great to see him back.
Maybe there's hope for Hargreaves yet!

Seriously didn't expect to see him in the final this year. What a player. Showed Murray that he is in a different class
