Like I said in an earlier post Federer has been shaky even in the slams in the last 12 months might sound a bit retarded as he won two of them but the French he had a comfortable draw and no Nadal, Wimbeldon Roddick bottled it at a set up and 5-1 up in the second set tie break, this time last year Nadal beat him in the final and Nadal was very average I honestly think Federer thought he had missed his chance to equal/beat Sampras record 12 months ago hence the tears he saw that Nadal was quite average in that final but still beat him, then he seemed to do a mini bottle job of his own when he was taking Del Potro to school in the Us Open final.
So in truth Federer has been noway near his solid best over the last 12 months, but he has imo played his best tennis in this event for a very longtime.
Should be a cracker.
murrays only hope is by just going for it early doors and looking to expose any potential fatigue in fed
Has to win the big points and has got to be brutal when those break points do come along. Even with all that he has to hope federer suffers some kind of mini emplosion and the occasion gets the better of him.
Ive got federer to win it in 4
What are you talking about?
Either way, Murray has the skills to make this a good match. I think he takes Federer.
murray was always gonna have to hope for federer to have an off day and he simply didnt.
Shame for andy to go so far but you have to say he had his chances and 5set points is more than enough to get the job done. Had he of pinched the 3rd who knows how that would of played out
