Britain’s Andy Murray has defeated Spanish top-seeded player Rafael Nadal at the Capitala World Tennis Championship in Abu Dhabi on January 3, 2009. Murray took the first set 6-4, Nadal took the second set 7-5. Murray ended the match by taking the last set 7-6.
Six of the top 10 world players which included Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer, Nikolay Davydenko, Andy Murray, Andy Roddick and James Blake all competed in the 3 day elimination event for a prize of $250,000.
Andy Murray came out on top to win the event. What a great way to start the new year!
Pete Sampras commented a few weeks ago about Murray’s potential to win a major. I think he just may be well on his way to a great 2009 tennis season.

That’s great Yara! Wish I could have been there. I’ll check around for some videos and post them if I find any.
