I wasn't just insulting Spanish sportsmen, I was insulting the entire nation.

And your the one who called Nadal rubbish anyway! I didn't say anything about him being a bad tennis player.

I dont wanna argue but I dint call Nadal rubbish. Even if I did (on some drunken night, still highly unlikely) it wouldnt change the fact that he isnt rubbish.

 

[evertonfan]

Which is fair conclusion to come to, as Nadal s brilliant. He's still a dirty greaser though.

Fed and Nadal through after easy wins.

 

[evertonfan]

My word this is some exciting Tennis. And I don't even follow Tennis that much.

A British success! And from 2-0 down! Of course, it will be all be over against Nadal but a Brit quarter finalist... brilliant.

 

[evertonfan]

Who knows, maybe he'll beat that dirty spick. Well played anyway Murray.

That was a proformance of epic GB failure we've been used to from Tiger Tim, to World Cup winning grit! Well played Murray, still, i don't see him beating Federer or Nadal

Good comeback. I thought the media (BBC) were probably underestimating Gasquet a bit too much by constantly putting up articles of a potential Nadal-Murray quarterfinal and how tricky it might be for the Spaniard.

Murray is being made to look like a punching bag at the moment. And Nadal is playing well within himself which makes me really worry about his leg.

AWW murray is out but deserved to lose becasue Nadal was fantastic.

 

[Stephen Bailey]

Murray never turned up so Nadal didn't really have to do anything remotely special. Still, a very promising tournament for Andy. He showed the ability we know he has, but added a level of maturity to his performances.

Hw can Nadal come so close and still not have won? Come on Nadal, even though I wanted Djokovic to win

 

[m_vaughan]

Last year's final was awesome. But this year has just beaten that. Cant believe Nadal doesnt have this in the bag already.

Some of the best passes I've seen in a long long time. And I am not a fan of grass courts.

Rooting for Nadal. Bout time Nadal finally won but he looks like he might have thrown it away.
