I watched Andy Murray collect his 10th tour title at Rotterdam this afternoon. Not only did he win over £200,000, he has got into Nadal's head.
The world number one, who has now lost his last three matches against Murray, is starting to look fairly one-dimensional and doesn't seem to have any ideas how to beat the brit.
Obviously the deciding set (which Murray won 6-0) can be written off as it was apparent Rafa was clearly injured and struggled to move. But, the first two sets highlighted the problems Rafa has with Murray. He can no longer just power him off the court with his heavy groundstrokes, because Murray has the same weapons.
It will be very interesting to see how future encounters between the two go, because Murray certainly has the measure of the world number one.

To me this is less interesting that the very funny, well written stuff about city states and Norwich, etc.
