Australian Open Tennis

[BIG H]

Choaker Murray has never had a better chance of beating Nadal. Nadal is getting better, but isn't the player he was and Murray is at his best at the moment. On paper Murray should win imo, but he's probably choke!

I think Federer v Davidenko has 5 sets writtena ll over it!!

Have to agree there Big man, Murray has his best chance I dont think Nadal has been nowhere near his best since his injury last May, I think Murray has a great chance if he serves well he can win, but like you say he usually loses the big ones, but one saving grace was his performance in the Us semi against Nadal.

But if i had to put the house on it id take Nadal.

A stat I have just come across is quite scary in 88 Grand Slam matches where Nadal has won the first set he is 87-1 .

I think it is predictable, Murray will lose to Nadal who will lose to Federer.

Wow on that form Murray is favourite imo especially with his semi draw.

Cillic beat him at the US Open but I cant see a repeat of that bit of a fraek enocunter that one, Murray should get to the final.

Not to sure about Federer/Davydenko, just watched his match v Verdasco and his serve deserted him in the last three sets add to that he will be mentally and physically fucked maybe Federer will win this.

Hope not with my bet , still not convinced with Federer though dont know why just see him slipping up if not Davydenko maybe Djokovic but if it is Federer/Murray final and Murray plays like he has today Federer will have to bring his very best to beat him.

Sad NAdal had to pull out; that was very entertaining while it lasted. Nadal's style of tennis isn't conducive to a long career, the wheels are already falling off. I hope he gets back soon. Andy playing very well right now and should take Cilic; and he's not exhausted after this match with Nadal. Fed and Novak playing awesome too; tough to pick a winner but I think Novak wins this again. Hell the Tsonga/Novak match should be awesome....could go 5 sets and I still always wonder about Novak's health; actually going to go ahead and pick Fed to win the AO

And how about my girl Justine Henin on her first major since her comeback? I'd be over the moon if she wins this thing; but Serena the cape buffalo is looking very dangerous and actually fit as hell; and there is no love lost between those 2. Should be a gret final on the women's side if it plays out right.

I'm just watching Novak/Tsonga now... The first 2 sets Novak looked good early with breaks in each, but then Tsonga broke back and it was pretty much completely even through those 2 sets, and only the tie break setting them apart to get 1 set each.. Although Novak was having a meltdown at the end of 2nd and start of third, looked like Tsonga was going to run away with it, but the Novak just demolished him with Tennis that i'd put against Fed or anyone else left...
But 4th set his health done him in with bad stomach and he's stuggling to even win a point..

So 2 even sets going each way, and 2 demolition sets going each way, the 5th could be a firecracker..
