Points won by each set: | 40-34, 33-43, 28-10 |
Points won directly behind the serve:
18 % Nadal – 15 of 82
8 % Murray – 9 of 105
It lasted 2 hours 58 minutes – I haven’t seen a longer match with similarly lopsided scoreline in the 30 years of watching tennis (the longest ‘6-2’ set I’ve seen)! After a change of ends, Murray improved from 2:1 to *4:1 in the 2nd set needing 30 minutes of play (12 deuces in two consecutive games)! Monte Carlo ’11 semifinals (description)
