Nadal holds off battling Murray


Nadal made it two wins out of two against Murray

Andy Murray put in a game performance against world number two Rafael Nadal but fell to a 7-6 6-4 defeat in the third round of the Madrid Masters.

Murray had the better of the opening exchanges but missed five early break-point chances and eventually lost the first set 7-5 on a tie-break.

The British number one then broke in the first game of the second set and had further chances to extend his lead.

But Nadal levelled at 4-4 and broke again to seal a thrilling victory.
