Analysis for Nadal-Murray (ATP Indian Wells)

Head-to-head record 5:2

Andy Murray of Scotland will play Rafael Nadal of Spain in Indian Wells Final.

We can hardly say anything new about Nadal – he plays with a strong two-handed backhand, well-angled topspin heavy strokes, fast mobility on the court, excellent defense, and a preference to play from the deep court. He has developed into the the best (clay court) player in the history of the game. Rafael Nadal is extremely athletic and tends to go after every shot, even apparent winners from his opponents. However, he has been criticised by players for taking an extraordinary amount of time between points. He defeated Berrer, Tursunov, Nalbandian, Del Potro and Roddick here in Indian Wells. There are no weaknesses we could point out in Nadal´s current game but the same applies for the Scottish player (he defeated Montanes, Mathieu, Robredo, Ljubicic and Federer). He plays his career best tennis and if he does his best, he can compete even with Nadal today. He has already beaten Rafael Nadal this year in Rotterdam and we are happy to support Andy here and odds above 2.2 can be taken.
