    Berdych will upset Murray tomorrow.....here's why:

    Berdych is playing the best tennis of his career at this precise moment and I believe he has an excellent chance of upsetting Murray tomorrow. When Berdych is on, he's unstoppable, capable of beating any of the big four. He can't possibly be in any better form and I expect him to be on full throttle.

    Berdych's game matches up with Murray extremely well. I personally think Federer is a better matchup for Murray because Berdych holds the mental edge over the Scot. Shades of the "choking Murray" appeared in his last match against Cilic and Murray will need to be in primo form to beat Berdych's play. I fully expect the Czech to come with cannons loaded on the serve frontier. This was always the heavy advantage he had over Murray. Berdych will outmuscle the Scot if he has a good serving day and that will have a significant mental edge for him as well. I'm almost positive that there will be a tie break at some point in this match. If so, big advantage to Berdych.

    Also another important factor is that for some odd reason, Murray seems at times bothered during day matches. I've seen him get into serious trouble several times during day matches this year, especially sunny & humid weather.

    I predict Murray & Lendl will probably try to utilize a lot of drop shots and slices. However the Czech had a heavy dose of this against Fed......he'll be ready. Berdych's groundstrokes have always been the best out of all the big servers(Del Potro/Isner/Raonic) but against Fed, it was lights out phenomenal (the best I've seen him hit in my years of watching Berdych). If he parlays that with his massive serve......see ya next month Murray.

    Getting Berdy at almost 2 to 1 is a nice bonus. This will be the Czech's finest moment of his career and look for him to advance to the finals.

    Best of Luck

    You are right that Berdych is playing well but you forgot the fact that Federer always struggles against Berdych in every counter... Also Federer hasn't play that well this while tournament.. walk over etc.. Good luck..

    That match wasnt decided by Federer struggling. It was more of Berdych playing lights out. If you watched the match, Berdych overpowered Fed in all facets. If he plays like that again, he'd be almost impossible to beat.

    I hope you're right about Berdych. I hope he beats Murray tomorrow, I think he beats Murray tomorrow, but I would like him to win tomorrow and then defeat the Joker... Too much to ask for? He's potentially two matches away from winning it all... he'll definitely have a realistic shot, in my opinion. BOL to all Berdych backers.

    surely, this is gonna be exciting as hell and i cant wait to see murray fake an injury once he starts losing
    murray will not win if he gets himself in a position like he did against cilic

    Get ready to see a lot of that after the first set. Murray will get blown off the court if he doesnt stay sharp throughout the entire match today. Berdych has seen so much of him through the years, his possum tricks won't be faking anyone.

    Best of Luck

    I have to agree with this, I am on Murray.
    Federer is entering the twilight of his career gradually.

    Regardless of how well Murray plays, if Berdych plays at his potential like he did against Fed, it will be a long 4/5 setter with Berdych on top.

    I do indeed like Berdych's game. Some big men like Isner/Raonic are unwatchable at times, especially during returns. For me, Berdych is the most exciting player to watch when he's on. It's a great thing to see the big man move like a gazelle and pounding winners against the big four.

    BOL as well.

    Raining in NY. They are saying that about 12 Noon it should stop and they will get the court ready to play then. But who knows.

    Looking worse now. No telling when or if they go today.

    Heavy swirling winds wreaking havoc on both player's serve. Murray breaks then Berdy breaks right back. Nice job staying focused by the big man.

    Both player's just got into an argument. Murray's hat got blown off by the wind and onto the court during a crucial point he should have won. Officials decided a do over.

    Be careful with that in game wagering though. It becomes like a straight up slot machine with no edge involved.

    Nice win nevertheless.

    This sucks.....the wind has put a big damper on Berdych's biggest weapon, the serve.

    Sorry, couldnt predict the swirling wind factor. Had the right mindset but the wind got Berdych today.

    If you've been watching this entire match, you'd know what I mean. No way Berdych can win if his serve is taken away. Murray on the other hand doesnt depend on his serve, his game is mainly defense which suits these conditions.
