Murray beats Nadal and reaches Masters final

Syndicated on Sun, 15/08.2010

Britain's Andy Murray upset world number one Rafael Nadal 6-3, 6-4, advancing the defending champion into the final of the Toronto Masters.

The Scotsman will play the winner of Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic in hope of becoming the first man since Andre Agassi in 1994-1995 to win back-to-back Canadian trophies.

The event boasts a rare VIP field with top four players in the world - Nadal, Djokovic, Federer, Murray - all represented in the semi-finals, a first for Canada in 23 years.

Murray's victory lifted him to 4-8 against Nadal after beating the Spaniard at the Australian Open earlier this year but losing to him in a Wimbledon semi-final last month.

"This is a surface I'm most comfortable on," Murray said of the hardcourt as he beat Nadal on the surface for the fourth time in five meetings.

"I enjoy playing aggressive especialy against the best players. I want to enjoy playing my game and expressing myself out on court. You never expect to beat the other top players. The margins are so thin.
