Nadal serving at 3-2 in the third set.

I really feel he needs to breka nadal if he is going to stay in the match. If he can string along a few points the pain in his side will ease slightly i reckon

0-15. Nadal's forehand goes wide.
0-30. Excellent volley and Nadal cant get the ball back in court.
15-30. Poor error. andy got himself into position but his forehand approach goes wide.
crucial point here....
15-40. Murray forces nadal to hit an awkward volley and the spaniard duly nets.
VAMOS!
GAME! Nadals return goes long.

7-6 4-6 3-3
