Actually, on paper it looked like it would be a really good match. Too bad Murray didn't show up though, Nole was better in every aspect. Especially his serve.
Murray has the talent, he just needs to become mentally stronger. But then again, it's not easy when the entire UK is on his back to become the first UK player to win a Grand Slam since 1936. No pressure.
As for Nestor, he and his partner Zimonjic (now ex) got a lot of exposure here in Serbia. And the doubles in general. Sure, it's a lot less popular than singles, but over here (in Europe in general) the doubles have more meaning that it might mean in NA. Besides, playing doubles is not as easy as you think.
