Nadal, Murray clash in London

In a season which Rafael Nadal's confidence has taken a battering at times, he received a much-needed boost with a straight-sets victory against Stan Wawrinka in his opening match at the ATP World Tour Finals last Monday.

Nadal's victory means that he will take on Andy Murray this afternoon after the British No 1 earlier beat Spain’s David Ferrer.

Just ten days ago, Wawrinka had beaten Nadal in the quarter-finals of the Paris Masters. But this time the tables were turned in London as the Swiss suffered a meltdown in the second set, going down 6-3, 6-2 in one hour and 23 minutes in the day’s second round-robin match.

Nadal said: 'I thought I played well. I think I played the way that I wanted to play. I played aggressive, I played with not many mistakes. Just the thing I can do a little bit better is serving.
