    Fed WONT GIVE UP...never forget that, down 0-5 in a tiebreaker the guy comes back to win, he IS that good! Yes Murray won yesterday but we have all see that Joker can be beaten and yesterday Murray was determined to avenge his loss to Joker at the Australian Open where he a quite a few chances to close the match out and just couldn't, he was determined to win. However, he didn't play well early this tournament and Joker clearly was not at the top of his game yesterday.

    Fed struggled a little with Del Potro but came through in the end, he has been lights out so far this year. He only lost to Nadal at the Aussie because Nadal played the match of his life, literally, he hit some shots that were so lucky and several of them changed the entire match, he was also a madman out there and went for shots he normally wouldn't and didn't give up on any ball. Fed dominated him the first set.

    Murray still has yet to win a major and in high pressure situations still hasn't proven himself. Murray had a lot of second serves yesterday which we know is one of his biggest weaknesses, and Fed will certainly take advantage of that. Murray will have to play a lot better than he did yesterday.

    Err...NO. He has prooved himself in high pressure situations. He has won numerous titles after beating the likes of fed, djoko or nadal.

    Murray is the play because this is not a grand slam. He has beaten fed for a title before and murray is a better tennis player at this point in time than he was back then.

    In 2010 they both played in 2 ATP singles titles and murray took both in straight sets.

    In essence, murray has proved himself just not at majors......and this certainly is not a major.

    Case and point.

    Oh and fed wont give up 0-5 down??? Not many top end players give up and that's why they are where they are now. You trying to say murray will give up if he's 0-5 down. Tough chance, this aint the WTA

    YES, I have seen Murray shut down countless times. He gets frustrated and just loses it. He has been better with that so far this year with the new coach, yes thats true but its still very early. If Fed serves like he has been, he wins this.

    You are correct that this is not a major, and I am convinced that as long as Joker, Fed, and Nadal are all still playing Murray will not win a major. Did you watch Murray earlier this tournament, he is not playing great tennis, and like I said yesterday Joker was not at the top of his game.

    Fed wins, total guess 6-4, 7,6 but Fed wins this one. Good luck!

    Fed hasn't been broken in 8 straight matches.

    2nd set will be easier for Fed.

    face, Fed is better all around today.

    if I were on Murray, I would admit this. I always call it like it is. Fed service game is unstoppable today and has been all tourney.. only facing 2 bps ... while Murray has faced over 20 bps

    I am on Fed and posted my reason why above and have been right so far. Federer should have won the first set at 6-4 but I'll take 7-5. He is hitting less errors than Murray and that is Fed's biggest weakness. Murray also missing a lot of first serves.

    Murray is also getting some chances because Fed has missed some easy shots.

    Losing the first set of a 3 set match to Fed is not good! Especially when Federer is serving great like he is.

    murray should have treated that chance like GOLD, and patiently volleyed and looked for a killer put away shot. but he is impulsive and nervous and shanked them.

    went pretty large on Fed. Have had some bad beats last few days and will get it all back now with Federer. Thought about going bigger but decided not to take such risk, of course now im pissed I didn't after seeing Murray at +700 during the last commercial. Just knew Roger would have a better chance to win today based on how well he is playing.

    I said during the Australian Open that he would win a Slam or 2 this year. Wimbeldon and US Open

    fed played way better than murray, and he had a plan. murray just hit balls wherever, but fed kept on slamming them at murray's backhand, over and over. fed had a plan, and played with his head, proving once again he's on another level than young murray.
