Andy Murray sent out of Rogers Cup by Wimbledon nemesis Rafael Nadal

ANDY Murray suffered a repeat of his Wimbledon nightmare after being sent out of the Rogers Cup by his SW19 foe Rafael Nadal.

The Spaniard extended his run of victories over the British number one to five meetings as Murray was unable to follow-up on his hoodoo-beating win over Novak Djokovic.

Murray matched the world number two stroke for stroke for much of the match, but was found lacking when it mattered most as Nadal won 7-6 6-3 to extend his winning streat to 28 in a row.

During the Masters Series semi-final, the Dunblane-born star bagged twice as many winners as Nadal, but also made twice as many errors as his aggressive approach pushed Nadal.
