No. 2 Rafael Nadal is only a set away from what would be (not including 2009 which he missed to injury) his fourth consecutive appearance in the Wimbledon final.
Wimbledon: Rafael Nadal Saves Set Points, Wins Second Set In Tiebreak
Neither could break serve during the second set, but it was a much tighter affair than the first, with almost every game going to deuce.
In the tiebreak, Nadal saved set point at 6-5 with a beautiful touch forehand volley. He then earned a set point of his own on the next point with a passing shot that got some help from the net cord. Nadal made no mistake with his opportunity, and hit a sliding cross-court forehand that bounced twice before reaching Murray’s racquet.
But some momentum has already shifted in the third set, with Murray going up a quick break in the first game for a 1-0 advantage.
