Murray confident ahead of today's big semi-final against world no 1 NadalAndy Murray scrapped his way through to the French Open semi-finals for the first time on Wednesday and then declared: "I can beat Rafael Nadal".
Andy MurrayThe World No 4 will take on the five-time Roland Garros champion today after coming through a topsy-turvy clash with Juan Ignacio Chela 7-6, (7/2) 7-5, 6-2.
Murray has now made the semi-finals of three clay-court events this year after losing close matches to Nadal in Monte Carlo and Novak Djokovic in Rome, and he believes he can make it third-time lucky to reach his first final on the surface.
He said: "I think in the build-up to the French I was playing very well, and now I'm going to have to get that level out on Friday and sustain it for a long period to beat Rafa.
"But I feel I can do it. I have to play a very consistent match."
