    BBC news - confusing message :)

    I guess the people who do the live reports don't do the end article

    From the live match reports here
    Murray 1-3 Nadal
    Murray ceratinly hasn't given this up. He plays some delightful touch volleys to go 30-0 in front but lets Nadal back in. The 19-year-old bellows out a long "nooooooo" like a cartoon character who has locked himself out of the house.

    Murray 0-1 Nadal
    Strap yourselves in, this could go all the way. Murray's fiddling with his teeth now. If it's not his side it's his teeth, he really is a little drama queen.




    From the article on the match here
    Valiant Murray succumbs to Nadal

    ...World number two Rafael Nadal held off a lion-hearted performance from Scotland's Andy Murray to reach the Australian Open quarter-finals.

    ...The players' body language at the start of the match made for fascinating viewing as they came together at the net like two boxers receiving their instructions before a title fight.

    Ah come on DS, don't you know that the Great Big Book of How to Be a Journalist contains the following notes:

    If you're reporting on a Scottish sports result, you must use one of the following 2 adjectives: "lionhearted" or "braveheart". If you're working for the Daily Record, find a way to blame it on the English (remembering of course to use bold caps when doing so).
