2015 Madrid Masters Semifinal: Murray v. Nishikori

[Kieran]

I think Rafa downed Ferrer in about 3 minutes in Acapulco 2013, dropping only two games, but still Kei looks bullish and sharp and cocky, which he should. I'm still expecting Andy to undermine him, but wouldn't be surprised if samurai scalps him in straights...

I like both guys, but for some reason I want Andy to get this one. It's just so unusual to see him so deep in these clay events.
And now for the prediction: After a grueling 3 setter Muzz gets away with the win, something like 7:6 3:6 6:4
( I haven't watched a single Nishikori match in Madrid but I assume that he is as good as he was last year.)

If Kei plays like last year there's no chance Murray will win and a good chance Nadal won't either.

Kei is dialed in

Spoke too soon. Andy is returning really well.

Nishi hitting too many shots beyond the baseline.

Sumarai's game is very offensive

Muzz escapes. 3-3

 

[Kieran]

Good to read the scores, folks. Unfortunately can't watch this...

 

[kskate2]

That is unfortunate K. It's fairly entertaining so far.

 

[kskate2]

Muzz hits a dropper and gets BP

 

[kskate2]

great return of serve and Muzz breaks 4-3

 

[kskate2]

5-3 now

 

[kskate2]

SP on Nishi serve

 

[kskate2]

Ugh. Too many errors and Kei dumps serve twice. First set to Muzz 6-3

 

[nehmeth]

Well that was disappointing. Murray playing very aggressively and put Kei on his heels that set.
