Says a lot about both players - Murray’s almost unique ability to stay with the top 3 at his peak but also Nadal’s ability to always stay in the moment. He got hit off the court in that first set by a Murray who was redlining everything but he never panicked. Kept his head, played his game & reeled him back in. Tennis will miss them 🎾❤️
I remember that day, I was extremely scared of Murray. After the first set, I thought he was going to run over Nadal. But our clay court god didn't disappoint us. Murray was perfect that day, but Nadal just did Nadal things
Wow, thanks a lot for uploading these highlights! What a match... smack down in the meaty part of the Big Four era, where it's quite clear that Murray could hang with the Big Three and hold his own. Superb fightback from Rafa as usual, especially after losing the first set so decisively! 🙂
Andy was definitely an under rated clay court player. He juat played in an era of some of the best clay court players ever (Rafa, Nole, Roger, David, etc).
@@ediccartman7252 you must learn history...Federer is one of the greatest clay court player of all time! If it wasn't for Nadal, Fed would have been considered as the greatest or most successful clay court player ever along with Borg (vilas and perhaps Djokovic ..Fed and him are even on the surface by the way) ...just look at Fed's record on clay: 1 Rolland Garros (add 4 more finals), 6 masters 1000 (4 Hambourg and 2 madrid) and 4 finals in both Rome and Monte Carlo! So let me ask : do you know 10 players in the Open Era with those feats ??? 🙄😏!!!!
Just goes to show you. Whenever Murray could really get the ball hard and flat to Nadal's forehand.... He would get a big advantage. Was a prominent aspect every time he beat Nadal, even though he never here. Tokyo 2011 being an even better example
Nah he had a shitty forehand in 2015 this was just the first clay season he was actually vulnerable since he burst onto the scene. Trend corrected itself at RG tho where he was dominant as ever and the forehand went nuclear to carry him to that title while still having back trouble.
Sometimes I forget how good prime Murray was. Thanks for the reminder. No reminder necessary for Nadal.
Two of the old-school all-time greats are going at it. It's very nice to see and remember an era gone by.

First time I didn’t get fooled by a throwback upload 😂😂😂😂
2 of my favorites in their prime!!! Can't get better than that :)

These epic matches stick in the memory, so that i even remember what i was wearing while watching them live
Murray's backhand was lethal
Watching this makes me sad because they are both so past their prime. It makes me emotional. Rafa truly is something special. ❤🥈
thwe level from murray in this match was just absurd
Wow what a match!
Great performance by Andy in first set. 👍

Roger wasn't one of the best players on the clay

Andy Murray was the guy who pushed big 3 to achieve greater excellence.

Murray was giving it all but still lose to the big 3 ...so good he won 3 GS's
a very similar scoreline to the 2011 Murray Djokovic semi final match. Only Murray lost the first set 6-1 but almost won the match
At crucial junctures ,the Big 3 could hold their nerves,more than Murray who used to do all the hardwork, though.
When tennis used to be good
Taking a set against nadal on clay , giving him just one game, is quite something
He was only the 7th guy at the time to 6-1 Nadal on clay. There’s a fun fact for you…
Nadal looked so fresh and young, wow.
It was exactly 10 years ago so 😀

How to give the Claydal a breakstick on clay:
Professor Murray!😃
이렇게 멋진 나달이 은퇴한다니 슬프네여
Murray was bandaged due to hip surgery, it was a severe setback to him that season
Me alegro mucho Rafael ,bue nas sensaciones
Epic
와..................
10:24 WTF??
Big 4*
Фига тут олды костями гремят.!
Pre-metal Murray was good
Nadal legend
murygoat
guess nadal was just better on clay lol
❤🎉
The weekest version of nadal was in 2014 . He has a shitty forhand in this year
Nadal was elite until after the French open. Could’ve won the AO final too if he didn’t get injured. Excuses…
