Considering Nadal has only lost once in the French, I don't fancy Murray's chances

Neither do I, but records and streaks are there to be broken. Obviously a mountain of a challenge but never say never.

Murray being coach by Harry? Doesn't seem to have a plan B.

He seems to be happy to just survive and not take the game to Nadal...

He had no idea today, was beaten before even stepping on court. Hopefully gets his head in the game for SW19

Apart from today it seems!

Meh, disappointed but not a surprise. :) Still a good tournament from Murray but saved his worst for last - I hope he can keep his form up and do well at Wimbledon

I did not see a single point due to work but sounds like Nadal was unplayable and Murray gave up early on. Disappointing to say the least. Was always going to be a near impossible challenge though, especially with conditions like this which suit Nadal down to the ground.

For Andy, he needs to regain his pre surgery fitness, and badly needs a coach. Sounds like he did not change his tactics whatsoever. Apparently it was his worst ever loss in a grand slam statistically. Ouch.

Hopefully the final will be a good one.

Interesting draw at the French. Given that it's a major, it could be a lot worse for Murray. If he plays (really) well I can see him losing in the semis to Rafa.

Haven't been able to post since the tournament started, but this wasn't a bad prediction!

Unfortunately Murray had a bad day at the office, and Rafa played well even for him; some brutal forehands off good Murray shots. There was only one winner from game 2 onwards.

I picked Novak to win but if Rafa plays like that tomorrow, it's his. Will be interesting.

As attractive as Sharapova is. If I was playing tennis against her I would end up wrapping my racquet around head with all that screaming that she does. She should save it for the bedroom not the tennis court.

I think she fakes her forehand.

Andy Murray has appointed Amelie Mauresmo as his new coach.

I didn't see that coming!

It was rumoured, and she watched his first match against Golubev. Still quite a surprise though.

It should be interesting, hopefully it works out well. I suppose it would be just as scary to see her face in the stands as Lendl's..

First set Djokovic. Interesting. Nadal not playing as well as against Murray, and not just because Djokovic isn't letting him. A couple of forehands he's mistimed, and a couple he's played safer than I would have expected. Not writing him off yet though!

Considering he said how much he admired her before he even started his French campaign, I did!

I was away and didn't hear that, or see the Golubev match. Interesting choice.
