Australian Open Tennis

Murray is going to win it, he has maintained his form all the way through the tournament and will be well rested. This is the year Murray begins to take over at the top.

It willbe the same old story. Fereder gets beaten occasionally in these shitty little ranking tourneys but come the slams...the guy is a different gravy.

I would imagine fed will murderMurray come sunday morning.

You're right about Fed being different in Slams, but this might be quite close. Del Potro managed to beat Fed in The US open final, so you never know. I'll go for Fed in 4 sets

Expecting the exact same

However well murray has played federer is a class above come these big games. Murray will be lucky to take a set off him

[Munkymagic]

I think there is more chance of pompey beating the drop this season than Murray beating fed. Like you say H he may scrape a set off him but Fed will be too strong.

Im going with Murray in 4.

Saying that though Federer has played his best tennis in theis Open for over 12 months.

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.

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.
