Andy Vs Roger

[MegaSteve]

I'll start a new thread for the final...

I am hoping that Andy can do the business... If for no other reason that when I first swung a racket at the courts down my local rec some fifty years ago Fred Perry was the 'man' and he still is today... So it would be good for that to change as possible inspiration for future generations of British Wimbledon winners...

I hope he wins but I won't be watching as the sun has come out and kids need a run out!

I think Murray needs to play his very best and hope Feds is slightly off the boil,but i'll be screaming myself hoarse regardless.

Come on Andy !!!!!

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Hope he does it. This is more years of hurt than the England football team but he is playing well and Feds "could" have a off day. Great day of sport with the F1, golf, and tennis

 

[Tiger]

Think it's going to be even tougher with the roof closed (looks likely). Feds is immense indoors. Really hoping Murray can do it but it's a tough ask. C'mon muzza!!!!!

 

[Neddy]

I think people underestimate Andy Murrays abilities. Tennis wise he is not as far behind the top 3 as he is made out to be.

Where he has faltered in the past has been mentally, and he looks so much stronger in the head now than he ever has done.

if Federer plays to his absolute maximum he will win, but he did that two days ago and I'm not so sure he will repeat it.

Murray in 4.

I think that even if he's slightly off the boil, Federer still has too much for Murray. Although Djokovich wasn't at his best, despite the second set, Federer was at him all the time and didn't give him an opportunity to get back into the game.

Out of all the guys Federer will also not be put off by the partisan atmosphere of the crowd and is just so cool and calm. As much as I would love to see Murray win, I just cannot see it happening today at Wimbledon and reckon Federer will take it, possibly even in straight sets.

I think Murray will win his first grand slam at the US Open before he wins Wimbledon.

Would be nice to see Andy win, you never know he might even smile then, but he has to play to best, but all Roger has to do is hit about 75-80% then Andy stands little hope.

 

[Doon frae Troon]

Interesting that everyone seems to be writing Murray off but on head to heads he is better than Federer

Not in five set matches though, as far as I know.

I will be watching Feds.

Unfortunately for Andy it is a fact that unless you were born in Stockport you have no chance of winning the mens singles at Wimbledon.

 

[Deke]

Andy has beat Federer 8 times and Federer has beat Murray 7 times,so he clearly has the ability to win.I just hope he has the mental game to beat him today of all days! Go on Murray my boy!

Think it's 8-7 but of course Fed has won both of their 5 set matches in straight sets.

It is a different game in a slam final. Important that Murray starts well but even if he doesn't he needs to keep his cool. It is a long match.

 

[HawkeyeMS]

Dodgy start from Federer, Murray breaks in first game. Long way to go yet though

 

[wrighty1874]

Muzza looking good at he start, come on boy!!

 

[HawkeyeMS]

Federer's backhand is a thing of beauty

 

[MegaSteve]

Richard Krajicek predicted a better chance of a win for Andy if the roof was open this afternoon... Hopefully his prediction proves correct...

 

[Mungoscorner]

Ummmmmm.

 

[JustOne]

The British guy did OK in the 1st set.......

 

[Neddy]

Numerous times in that set when he could have crumbled and didn't, , broke at the crucial time and then served it out. Keep it up Andy lad!
