High quality match:00x15

At least the loser gets the same check as Stephens and sharapova so they should be happy with that....so much depth on the wta

As much as I don't care for the guy I think Murray will win. He's never been sharper than he is now.

 

[ReaderOfTheGame]

Too much consistent depth/variation, more dominant with carrying the greater edge out of the two cross court battles (Murray wins backhand to backhand), tactically more astute on an outdoor-hardcourt due to the the pace, intimidates the Federer second serve (Inflicting double faults) and is IMO more composed in pressure-cooker situation or atleast has the greater probability of winning points in those moments due to his greater margin for error. (Subconsciously you always tighten up that tiny bit in these moments, so yeah, that better control on backhand in-particular will count)

Murray's a lot more fresh, his tenacity and inner work ethic will throw strain upon Roger causing him to go for too much too soon. Game after game, point after point Murray will be attempting to counter anything offensive Roger throws @ him in his service games, which in a best of 5 set match will take it's tole, mentally more than physically. We'll see backhand's slashed wide with forehands going long and into the net on points following the long rallies won by Andy.

Andy also now a days has the ability to switch it up and eat up anything shallow from Roger on the backhand, stepping in and I'm sure moving inside out to play it back to the backhand so he can put away the easy bunted defensive air-ball by Roger @ the net.

Roger will have to serve ridiculously well on his first serves under pressure and he simply was not doing that today for me.

Crowd factor will be an issue too ofcourse. This is the one slam where Murray is even mildly liked to an extent where he'd receive equal if not marginally more support than Roger. The Australians have taken to his personality, they find him endearing and you can jus gage from his after-match interviews with Courier and Woodbridge that he feels more than home here.

Murray to take it in a match I feel he may actually serve surprisingly well from a first serve perspective. Blend of grind and attack, Roger will ofcourse have his sparks, but it won't be enough.

Murray 3 sets to 1 .. potentially 2.

Andy Murray to beat Roger Federer @ 1.67 with Pinnacle X 4.5

It was like I'd watched the game in advance and the match shown on our televison broadcasting screens was a repeat. :shrug:

:shrug: Dunno how I diid that? :scared

:0corn Entertaining watch.

:shrug: How I do it. :SIB

Murray underwent an ever so slight tiny momentary choke @ 6-5 30-15 on a slice backhand approach shot. If not for that it wouldn't been done and dusted with in 4 sets.

Credit to all Murray backers and commiserations to the Federer backers that genuinely felt he would win. To the Federer backers who backed him on love and adoration, nothing to you guys.

:toast: to Murray backers. :0074

Well that was a battle, wish I could of watched in but not the best timing for the eastern time zones. Yep should be a battle in the final for sure

How can it not be equal prize money, double bagels = same money
