Murray Defeats Nadal in Four-Set Thriller

Back


This last-four contest resumed on the Arthur Ashe stadium at 21.30BST with the number six seed from Scotland leading by two sets to one, but trailing a break in the third set and within minutes it was obvious to all those in attendance that a different Nadal had turned up to the one that we saw yesterday. The Spaniard immediately held on to his first service game and despite Murray also comfortably holding on to his serve, Nadal had soon wrapped up the third set 6-4, taking us into a thrilling fourth set. However, initially the omens did not look that promising for Murray, who was immediately broken in his opening service game as he was at the start of the third set on Saturday evening as Nadal powered into a two-love, followed by a three-one, lead. And yet in what turned out to be a wonderfully-fluctuating set of tennis that thrilled the 16,000 in attendance in the Big Apple, Murray showed great resilience to break back with what turned out to be a breathless exhibition of hard-court tennis. That break back cleary unnerved and rattled the world's best player and as his opponent cranked up the pressure, Nadal began to wilt, none more so than when serving to stay in the match at 4-5 down in the fourth. And, on his first match point, Murray reacted smartly to a Nadal drop-shot to drive the ball into the open spaces of the court and with it seal his place in Monday night's final against the four-time champion Roger Federer, when he will attempt to become the first British winner of the US Open since Fred Perry 72 years ago.
