It's great defence from Nadal.
His appreciation of that one.
Great response.
Good body language after that game.
It's Murray.
That's a brilliant point.
Heartbreaking for Murray.
Nadal going close to the lines on a couple of occasions.
Still with some work to do.
This time, Murray breaks through.
Great point from Nadal.
And so far, a great response to droppings.
Saves the first.
Fourth ace.
Even bigger.
Well, brilliant serving from Andy Murray to rescue the situation.
Brings a smile to his face.
Oh, brilliant pass.
And that's why he's so good, isn't it?
Puts the disappointment of the three missed break points behind him.

Wonderful backhand.
He was waiting, but a sensational backhand.
Hits in that backhand so well right now.
Husker tennis.
Sharp at the net from Murray.
Perhaps all that doubles play this week.
That's a fine set of tennis for Andy Murray.
Oh, brilliant stuff.
The point of the match so far.

Quickly onto that backhand.
Brilliant.
It's wide.
Again, it's the backhand that does the damage for Andy Murray.
It's a lovely volley.
Intelligent shot selection.
This time, it's the forehand.
This is the kind of form he was showing yesterday.
What a way to seal the deal.
And check this out for a start.
Nadal has just won.
Again, it's the backhand that delivers the killer blow.
Answering all the questions at the moment.
This is the kind of tennis he was playing yesterday.
He's handing out a lesson.
Murray is the 2011 Rakuten Japan Open champion.
What a performance.
It's his second title in as many weeks.
It's the 20th title of his career.
And it's his first in Tokyo.
He becomes the first British champion in the tournament's 40-year history.
And what a way to do it.
He completely outplayed Rafael Nadal in the last two sets today.
