Rafael Nadal will take on crowd favourite Andy Murray on Friday in the semi-finals of Wimbledon 2011You can watch and bet on the action from Wimbledon at bet365Rafael Nadal could well be on course for his second Slam title of the year, and the exit of Roger Federer from Wimbledon 2011 on Wednesday seems to have boosted his chances. The world No. 1 continued his challenge this week by fending off a stern challenge from tenth seed Mardy Fish in four sets, 6-3, 6-3, 5-7, 6-4.
Nadal will now take on Andy Murray in the semi-finals, and could well be in for another tricky contest. Murray carries the hopes of the home crowd solely on his shoulders, and the majority of the fans at the All-England Club on Friday will be urging the Scot on to reach his first ever final here. Whilst Nadal is well equipped to deal with this kind of atmosphere, it won’t be easy for him.
Nadal has beaten Murray twice previously at Wimbledon, and currently holds an 11-4 match record against the world No. 4. Murray’s recent form has been very positive, but Nadal will take some stopping. This has all of the makings of an historic encounter, and British tennis fans will be eager to find out if Murray can finally get the better of Nadal in this competition.
