Today there's a dream line up of semifinals at the Rogers Cup in Toronto; World #1 Rafael Nadal plays World #4 Andy Murray and Roger Federer plays World #2 Novak Djokovic.
Federer came back from down 2-5 in the third set to even the match and defeat Wimbledon finalist Tomas Berdych 6-3 5-7 7-6(5) on his very first match point, despite being 2 points away multiple times from his third consecutive loss to the hard-hitting Czech for the year. Murray has to reach the final in order to maintain his #4 ranking over Robin Soderling, who was taken out earlier by a resurgent David Nalbandian.
Interestingly, Murray not only retains his #4 ranking by defeating Nadal, but Raja moves back up to #2 by defeating Novak.
ReplyDeleteAnd watch for some more Nalbandian movement upward.
His losing to Murray just gave Andy that much more energy to come back to beat Rafa.
Maybe Murray is one his way as everyone always envisioned - only time will tell.
