Nadal Humbles Sorry Murray

The Battle for the number one ended with style and glitz at the Phillipe Chartrier court as the World number one in Men Tennis beat British number one Andy Murray in three straight sets of 6-3 6-2 6-1.

Without a coach in the French Open this year, the Scot however, made his way, through personal coaching efforts, to the final but when it got Nadal, personal coaching did not save him from being outplayed and out-measured the current French Open champion who plays World number Novak Djokovic in the Final on Sunday.

Though Murray put up a good fight, he appeared to have been wearied and discomforted hinging thoughts that the 27 year old Murray may still be recovering from a back surgery he had eight months ago.

Murray who beat Gael Monfils had hoped to get past the world number for a first shot ever at the Grand Slam final; no British has ever made to the Men's final since the end of World War, after Fred Perry's truimph in 1935.

Murray's success until the Semi Final lose could be attributed to a "single-minded cussedness," an admirable quality in the 2013 Wimbledon champion.

Murray's fall to Nadal had already been articulated given by his sloppy against Gael Monfils in the Quarter finals.

Rafael Nadal, the undeniably greatest clay court player around, Rafael Nadal had it all his own way at the Phillipe Chartrier Court in the afternoon, but Murray just couldn't find the extra edge to take advantage of Nadal's fallibilty and unspectacular play on court as he had shown in defeats to David Ferrer in Monte Carlo, Nicolás Almagro in Barcelona and Novak Djokovic in Rome.

The Men's Single's Final on Saturday is a repeat of 2012 Final where Nadal beat Serbian Novak Djokovic in sets of four plays 6–4 6–3 2–6 7–5 to lift his 7th French Open title.

Saturday's final makes it 9 times for Nadal in the final, winning eight of them and loosing one to Roger Federer in 2009.
