Good grief. Some of the comments on that article are simply astonishing!
I know but i cant stop laughing why did Rafa let Murray win against him 6-0 on clay, so murray can know how it feels to win on clay?

I couldn't believe my eyes when I read them! In many ways, this society is the best tennis discussion forum I or anyone could ask for - everyone's friendly, intelligent and respects each others' views. That is not the case on TT, menstennisforums, or Bleacher Report, or even that one, where several teenage, pre-pubescent trolls lurk, waiting to pounce on the words of players (even more so than the media!)

I think Murray's taken a set off Nadal on clay (in 2011, not sure where), but Nadal hates being bagelled on clay in an actual match. We could see this year, against Djokovic and Gulbis, how desperately he tried to avoid it

Aye, it was in Monte Carlo. 47 More long minutes until we get to see Rafa. God am so happy.
Canadians ruining my draw... players whose names I can't pronoune are dangerous

Murray through in straight sets; Rafa's turn to face the music now.
Nadal's match is only in it's 7th game and the match has already been going on for 40 minutes. Federer can finish a match in this time.

Typical Nadal wasting time between points. It irritates me that he often breaks the time violations. The umpires should be far harsher on it, it allows time for recovery. Just like AO 2012, 6 hours or so, quite a lot of that was excess waiting and time wasting..
Am i the only one who thinks Murray will fail to defend his US Open?
His win at Wimbledon was great (can't fault him in the final) but he played nowhere near the standard of the Djokovic vs Del Potro semi-final.and Djokovic has won their last 3 hard court matches since the US Open. While he has a great shot at the final and Federer may not have bounced back Del Potro as inconsistent as he is had a forehand in Washington that was (and i'm serious when i say this) unreturnable.

Na they should go back to 40 second break 20seconds seems far too short.

Murray vs Delpo US open would be a great match if it happens am expecting the victor in 5 sets.
So Glad that Rafa got through. Him and Ferrer are two of my favourite players on tour due to their modesty. I would love a Rafa/Del potro or Rafa/ Murray final. Especially the latter, they haven't played in 2 years. It'll be interesting to see how they both do, I'd give the edge to Nadal.

Murray is far fitter so i'd expect him to win were it 5. That being said i agree that the match would be epic and when he's not walking about lethargically he has the weapons.

For some reason I don't Rafa vs Delpo as they are 2 of my favs but Murray vs Rafa US open final Would be nice.

Murray may be the fitter out of the 2 but Delpo won in IW don't see why he wouldn't be confident in doing the same at US Open there both 1 time US open Champions.

I wouldn't be too sure of that I mean theres been a very few times Murray has taken out Nadal in best of 5.

Really? I would say on a hard court, there is no real dominant force. Murray, Nadal and Djokovic are all at a very similar level. I think either way it would be a very tight match.
