2013 Wimbledon QF: Verdasco vs. Murray

[Sundaymorningguy]

Verdasco takes set 1. Let's see how this plays out.

 

[Murat B.]

Nando is surprising some of us here. Great first set from him. Maybe it is the new stick..?

 

[Riotbeard]

Verdasco takes the first?!

 

[rafanoy1992]

Wow! Who would have thought that Murray is the one who will get tight at the end of the set.

 

[Andrew William]

man, this is getting scary. Verdy is hitting out there like he has nothing to lose and Andy is a bag of nerves right now.

 

[rafanoy1992]

Murray just needs one break of serve to get himself going.

 

[Andrew William]

Murray gets the much needed break!!

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Verdasco breaks back! This is going to be a long day at the office for the Muzz I think!

 

[Murat B.]

One of the millions of things I did not expect in this match, Nando breaking back...

 

[Andrew William]

Verdasco is hammering the ball right now.

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

Verdasco takes the first?!

Yes he does, it's because I picked Andy in 4

 

[Riotbeard]

I am watching the other match but this sounds unreal!

 

[tenisplayrla08]

Wow Murray is really making some uncharacteristic errors today. But mostly Verdasco is just returning really well, for him that is. He's only able to do it though because Murray's second serve is so awful.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Nando breaks Murray again!

 

[tenisplayrla08]

A little luck there! Verdasco took a huge cut at the return and hit the top of the net, but it hopped over (b/c Wimbledon's nets are so forgiving) in a position that Murray couldn't have gotten to. All that was on break point. So Verdasco is serving for the set.

 

[Moxie]

Good heavens what a rally!

 

[Murat B.]

nando, you lucky boy you...that's not even the net, it is the net post ...

Murray wins the rally of the match, with his defense.

 

[tenisplayrla08]

WOW! Murray just come up with some extremely special defense in that point to get to 30-0 on Verdasco's serve.

 

[kskate2]

just tuned in. 0-40 to get the break back
