yes, Murray is one of the rare players on the circuit who can beat Federer regularly, even a few years back when Federer was more dominant.

Murray is a great player, 4th best in the world. His misfortune is that he is playing at the same time as Djokovic, Nadal and Federer. D and N have been sucking all the oxygen out of the room for the past 2 1/2 years and Federer picks up whatever is left.

Federer knows this is probably his last chance to win a career Grand Slam. He will be 31 next month, the same age Sampras was when he retired in 2002. All his contemporaries are retired or far back in the rankings. Age is catching up to him, its only his great skills that still keeps him competitive.

In his match against Djokovic, he was like a Great White, circling, waiting for the kill.

...still, I would only give him 6:5 odds against Murray in the finals, should be a great match.

I hope your right but I still make him favourite to win.

Murray won the 1st set 6-4

Bilge_Rat · 07-08-12, 10:06 AM

Federer won the 2nd set 7-5. He upped his play in this set, made a lot less error, Murray made a few more, but is playing well, this will be a close one.

Anyone but Murray! Just what he 'joked'about supporting England fir a World Cup.

Come on Federer.

Jimbuna · 07-08-12, 10:20 AM

Murrays best chance is a long game that'll tire Federer the longer it lasts.

Bilge_Rat · 07-08-12, 11:38 AM

Fed won the third set 6-3. Murray is starting to fall apart, unless he turns things around, he is finished.

Jimbuna · 07-08-12, 11:46 AM

2-1 to Murray in fourth set so hopefully he will push on from here.

Jimbuna · 07-08-12, 12:20 PM

Murray got beat....the useless scot

Bilge_Rat · 07-08-12, 01:42 PM

yes, good first set, but then Fed chewed him up.

Murray has the technical skills, but doesnt seem to have the mental toughness/killer instinct to win the big ones. I used to think it was lack of maturity, but at 25, he sould be at his peak.

Jimbuna · 07-08-12, 02:41 PM

I still reckon he'll eventually achieve a grand slam win but they will probably be few and far between seeing as who is in his peer group.

All over the bloody BBC News it was..on and on and on about that bloody scots git and what made it worst they were still playing!

What is the matter with this country I ask?

Here is some rubbish from the last 24 hours...

The country is behind you Murry.

Murry your the greatest.

The country has a good feeling about Murry.

We should pat him on the back.

Who can give him a box of tissues.

Never mind your still the greatest.

Murry we support you for what you have achieved.

On and on and on and on...All over most of the newspapers today!

For flips sake get a grip! Anyone would think Aliens have just landed and offered us all a big pizza & coke each!
