   Points won by each set: | 38-34, 45-37, 38-31 |
   Points won directly behind the serve:
   12 % Nadal – 15 of 119
   18 % Murray – 19 of 104

   Both players appeared in blue shirts & white shorts. It was like a boxing 12-round bout where two fighters exchange punches rather in a moderate pace, and even though the scorecards manufactured by three judges are quite balanced (116-112, 115-113, 116-112), no-one is surprised with the final outcome because the victor controlled the progress throughout the fight gathering 2 out of 3 rounds in each of four sequences…

   Twelve years later when they both are at the end of their careers, it’s still Murray’s longest 0-3 defeat (3 hours 17 minutes)
   while Nadal played officially only one longer 3-0 match (3 hours 18 minutes vs Andujar at French Open the same year as he won 7-5, 6-3, 7-6)…
   sometimes there are differences +/-2 minutes regarding the duration if we compare on court scoreboard to post-match stats
