And to think Bandage criticises Nadal’s style of play when he is a fan of Murray.
Watched a bit of the Djokovic match, first time I’d seen Dimitrov play. He looks good. I see Wawrinka beat him in three today though.
He pushed Rafa all the way in Barcelona too.
Murray really struggling to put away a powderpuff Simon here.
Murray breaks and finally takes the set before heading off to the locker room to juice up.
That vile bastard Murray is kicking up a fuss about the court being watered.
An out-of-sorts Nadal in bother against Ferrer here.
A set down and 5-5 in the second.
Into a a tie-break. Nadal just about hanging in there.
I thought B&Q came out of examinership, should you not be in work pal?
Using my work from home days, pal. Not being very productive as you can see.
Nadal takes the tie-break.
Nadal wins the final set 6-0 and advances to the semi-final. Magnificent resilience from Nadal to pull himself through that second set, another reason why he is the greatest of all time.
Yes, resilience
First set in 24 minutes against Andujar. 6-0.
Andy Murray was sent packing in straight sets yesterday.
This is comedy gold

[FONT=helvetica][SIZE=18px]Rafael Nadal has criticised the decision of a Spanish court to destroy 200 blood bags seized during Operation Puerto - and allow those involved to remain nameless.[/SIZE][/FONT]
[SIZE=16px]Madrid judge Julia Santamaria earlier this week ordered the destruction of 211 bags of blood and other evidence seized in police raids on Spanish doctor Eufemiano Fuentes in 2006, citing privacy laws. Fuentes has been given a suspended one-year jail sentence.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=16px]Fuentes confirmed in court he had clients from other sports, including tennis, football and athletics, but not that they had been involved in doping.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=16px]Eleven-time major winner Nadal was far from happy with the outcome and felt the only people who will have been content were the doping cheats.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=16px]“I’m not one to judge,” he said at a press conference ahead of next week’s ATP Mutua Madrid Open.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=16px]"My opinion is that the resolution is not good for anyone.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=16px]“The only ones who are benefiting are those who have cheated and it seems unfair that, in a case as serious and damaging as this to the image of sport, those most affected are the Spanish and the sport.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=16px]He added: "I think the most positive thing is that you stop talking about it.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=16px]"I think it’s a mistake not to give the names of those who have cheated - they deserve at least contempt from all athletes.[/SIZE]
