At Roland Garros, no doubt was resounding victory for Rafael Nadal who went 6-3 6-2 6-1 in one hour and 40
minutes over Andy Murray in the semi final.
Andy Murray confessed that he has never had a tougher encounter after the loss at Roland Garros.
“Today he was hitting extremely hard, extremely heavy, returning well, and was hitting it well on the run,” said Murray, 27.
“That’s the toughest match I have played against him.”
Murray was playing in his second semi-final at the French Open, having also been beaten by Nadal in 2011 and this time the Briton failed to earn a single
break point.
Nadal took his record in Paris to 65 wins and one defeat and Murray was unhappy he had not provided a sterner test.
“Coming in there were loads of people that wouldn’t have expected me to get to the semis,” said the Scot.
“Once you get there, you obviously want to try and give yourself an opportunity, and I didn’t give myself a chance in any of the sets today.
“That’s why I’m disappointed, because you want to be competitive. You want to make it hard for him. I wasn’t able to do that.”
