TAKING IT TO THE TOP: Nadal celebrates his win over Murray on Saturday. |
The British number one pushed Nadal all the way but the Wimbledon and French Open champion prevailed on the big points to secure a 7-6 (7-2) 6-4 victory to book a final with Germany's Nicolas Kiefer.
Murray said: "He's definitely doing a lot of things better than he was in the past. That's why I think he'll be number one in the world soon."
He continued: "I think he's moving better on hard courts, and I think he's changing the pace of the ball a little bit more and not playing so far behind the baseline like he did in the past."
