Murray will be a massive favorite due to his experience at this stage and it's not really a fair comparison to say Murray will struggle because Verdasco gave him a great push today. It was the first lefty Murray had faced all year and Verdasco was playing very, very well this week. Apples vs. oranges. Janowicz brings an entirely different approach that Verdasco. Not saying it will not be competitive or even than Janowicz might have a shot at an upset, just no need to make one conclusion based on one match against an entirely different style of player.
