Raphael Nadal will be playing Andy Murray at 16h00 this afternoon. They will be resuming their game started yesterday and dominated by Murray 6-2, 7-6 in the first 2 sets. They had to stop at 2-3 Nadal leading with one break because of the rain.

Nadal has been playing incredible tennis in 2008. Here is an overview on the major tournaments he attended. It’s important to consider that like most of Spanish players, he’s favorite field is clay.

• He reached the semifinals of the Australian Open for the first time.

• During the spring clay court season, he won four singles titles and defeated Roger Federer in three finals.

• He won the French Open without losing one set.

• At Wimbledon, he played and won the longest final in Wimbledon history against Roger Federer.

• He won the gold medal at the Olympics and became ranked number one player in the world.

At the ongoing US Open, he seemed pretty tired is this semifinal. Murray was playing a great match and seemed unstoppable. Let’s hope this rain gave enough time for him to recuperate and come stronger on the court. I would not be surprised to see this game end in five sets. What do you think?

The perfect scenario would be a final between the two best players in the world. Even Roger said yesterday he rathered play Nadal.
