Murray-ray is romping his way through the Asian part of the tour. He won last week's Thailand Open and yesterday beat GoNads in three excellent sets of tennis to clinch the Japan Open.
Nadal won the first 6-3 and Ray-ray's misfiring serve did not spell out a happy ending for the Scot. However, he found his range in the second set, taking it 6-2 with some great play. The quality was only going to get better as Ray-ray broke GoNads three times in the third to take the set 6-0 and his first win against the Spaniard in six matches, including semi-final defeats at the French and Wimbledon.
He's set himself a target to finish the year as world number 3 (in doing so shoving The mighty Fed down to fourth) and is doing a damn convincing job of getting there. If he can take this form into the end-of-year tournament at the O2 he will be a very real threat. Djoko, GoNads and Fed, watch out!
I'll keep you blogged...
