Maria Sharapova has not lost a set at this year's tournament.


That sounds like a pretty accurate scouting report for Nadal, too. He, though, was merely very good at the outset against Murray, who was downright excellent while winning the first set with high-risk, high-reward shotmaking and nearly perfect serving.Yet their semifinal changed complexion completely early in the second set, with Murray ahead 2-1, and Nadal serving at 15-30. On his heels, Nadal sent back a floater that should have set up an easy winner, but Murray flubbed a forehand, pushing it long.Fake Ray Bans Wholesale

Instead of a break point for Murray, it was 30-all, and the Scot missed forehands on the next two points, too, starting a seven-game run for Nadal.“Probably,” Nadal said, “the turning point of the match.”Murray’s take? “I was going for it,” he explained. “Against Rafa, you have to go for big shots. I slightly over-hit that one.”As Nadal seized control—making a hard-to-believe total of three unforced errors in the last three sets, 28 fewer than his opponent—all those cries of “Come on, Andy!” from some of the 15,000 or so of Murray’s flag-waving countrymen in the stands began to morph from words of support to words of supplication.Ray Ban Replica Sunglasses
