SOUNDBITE (English) Andy Murray, lost to Rafael Nadal 6-3 6-2 6-1: (Q. At what point of the match did you sense that it was going to be a very difficult afternoon?)

"Well, I knew it was going to be a difficult afternoon obviously before I went on the court. I was expecting a lot of long rallies. I was expecting to have to do a lot of running. And, yeah, I just yeah, I mean, it was a tough day for me. It was a bad, bad day. Yeah, I'll need to bounce back quickly from it, because I'm not particularly happy with the way I played today."
