Live: Spectacular Tennis at Madrid Masters Event

Incredible tennis was played at the Masters tournament in Madrid. The biggest names of tennis gave their all to win the tournament, but only one man can walk away with this coveted title.

Worlds top three players played semifinal and the two kings of ATP faced eached other in the final!  In the semifinals, Rafa Nadal showed all the charms of his game trying to beat Serbian player Novak Dokovic. The match lasted over 4 hours, and these two giants played an unforgettable match. Rafael Nadal managed to save three match points in the tie break. Tennis fans who watched the match, were able to see a spectacular game.

In the final, Nadal faced Roger Federer, who beat Juan Martin del Potro (6-3, 6-4). Until now, Rafa is pretty much invincible on clay. However, because of too much fatigue Rafa was defeated in the finals by the legendary Swiss player and ex world number one Roger Federer with the result 6-4, 6-4. After an 18 month losing streak against the Nadal, Roger finally managed to beat him in the 88 minute long match. The Madrid Masters event is a great building ground to lead into Roland Garros. Im looking forward to seeing if Roger can keep his confidence and push out Nadal at his favourite Grand Slam event.

This was a live report from the Madrid Masters Event. At The Tennis Times we are looking to cover more live matches from the worlds best tournaments.

US Open 2008 Mens Final – Who Will Win, Murray or Federer?

Tonight is the night for British tennis. Andy Murray has beaten some great players in the last two weeks, including Raphael Nadal, but is it time that he stepped forward and took a Grand Slam title?

Murray will be facing Roger Federer in about two hours time and of course Murray will be the underdog, but we will see if there is fight still left in the dog.

Andy played some of the best tennis he has ever played, in the semi final against Raphael Nadal. It will be a big tasks for him to back it up again against Roger in the final, but I’m not too sure he can!

Over the last six months to a year Murray has made a lot of progress on his fitness and this is starting to show in his tournament results. Somehow, according to the rankings he is already the number 4 player in the world (which I don’t think is entirely correct), but he has earned his spot in the top ten, and this could be the night a Brit proves something to critics.
