INSANE Rafael Nadal vs Andy Murray Battle 🥵 | Monte-Carlo 2011 Extended Highlights

No such thing for Nadal. The volume turned up to the max for the Spaniard. It is a break for Murray. The first game and the first blow for the Scot here. Oh, did it say switched on? False kind of signs, so we're obviously going to have a look closer, but the first signs is a shakeout. Mendes from Murray again, and showing defensive skills are top-notch. It's another boy that had absolutely everything, but that ends with this man unleashing a forehand. Oh, another moth-watering point. Yeah, nice to see Murray as well, just chucking in the serve and volley. That's not easy. Murray's broken. Brutal. That is a stunning hitting from Murray. No player in the world could have generated that forehand from that part of the court, and Murray can do nothing. He can mutter all he likes, but he's in a great return. Yeah, I mean, it's too good. Yep, that's to be tennis for Murray. Murray finding out when you slice the return to Nadal, you often end up putting your wheels on. That's three in a row from Murray. That ties his second-longest run of points. He's missed it. But this time, the aim was slightly off. Astounding tennis once more from both men. Got it. What a stunning shot. And who says this guy can't generate with his forehand? It really has been a compelling hour so far. Yeah, stunning return of first serves in that game. It was a quite spectacular set of tennis. Murray's very disappointed. From Murray's point of view, I think he's got to make sure he doesn't lose heart. Yeah, does that so well, that play against Nadal. It's a slight, it's spinny, it's low, isn't it? Nadal has to hit up. It is, I think. Yeah, good volley. Just nice to dig it out of the body. Something out of nothing exchange. And so it has proved. He breaks in the second set. Sweet. Very, very sweet. Again, it's a short, punchy point. This is just phenomenal. Every inch of the centre court at the Monte Carlo Country Club have just been covered. Yeah, you'd normally think that this backhand from Murray would be a winner against many players on the tour. What a drop volley. Some silky skills from the Scot. Unbelievable volley. Another stroke of genius from Murray. Breaks again. And beautiful. That was a couple of loose points from Murray, not entirely surprising. Brilliant. So smart. And he's double footed, Nadal. And he's got a bit of a frown on his face. Murray does take a set off Nadal. And Nadal is off to a flyer. Set number three. Look at that stare. That's a stare of, hold on. Are you invading my land? Oh, an astounding point once more. Two of the best movers we have in tennis. Surely. Nadal bites back. First time in a while he's turned a rally around like that. Oh, he's missed it. And is he starting to feel it? We apologise for the language coming from Murray. Nadal breaks for a second time here in the deciding sets. And that may well be that. Great hands from Murray. In truth. Not to be. It was a tired game. Approaching the three hour mark. That's just the one. It's been a grandstand finish from Rafael Nadal. There it is. Tested to the limit. On his favourite red clay. For the first time in a long time. Full credit to Andy Murray today. He has bounced back in style this week. A match that very nearly lasted three hours. Nadal emerges. 6-1 in the third set.
