Reasons why Ferrer cannot win against Murray?

[good2go2mexico]

Got to see how they come back from the rain but I'm liking my chances with the Murray live bet.

I think we all proved our points about Ferrer though. He is not to be undestimated on grass.

Is anyone's ESPN internet feed down?


Nevermind, its back up.

What a battle that was. Still think Ferrer should be losing some sleep over that 2nd set. That was the difference between the eventual outcome and him being in the semis. Any time you get three tie breaks, you've obviously put yourself into a spot to win the match.

No doubt about that 2nd set tiebreaker.

Will give Murray credit too - that was superb mental strength and some good shot making to fight back in that set several times from the brink of disaster. Easily for me the most entertaining match of the tournament. I'm sure some rank the Rosol-Nadal one high, but that was nothing compared to the great rallies and gets in this one. Beautiful defense by both players and really what a tennis match should be, not just bomb serve after bomb serve.

Ferrer 2 for 12 on tiebreaks
Murray 3 for 9 on tiebreaks
Murray wins 2 out of 3 tiebreakers.
Very close match.

I agree, though watching rosol in that 5th set was pretty amazing. Beautiful tennis and some phenomenal rallies by Murray and Ferrer. Murray was serving out of his mind in that 3rd and fourth set. This match will probably be a hell of alot more entertaining than Tsonga/Murray, especially if Murray is serving like he was to end the Ferrer match.

Murray has just dominated Tsonga, Murrays return can handle Tsongas serve and Tsonga is nothing like Ferrer in his return game and definitely nowhere near Ferrers class in long rallies.

Murray opened at -210. I thought he would be a bit higher. I agree with everything you said here. I see Murray winning this in 4, potentially 3 even if he starts off better than he did against Ferrer.

disagree

Tsonga > Ferrer 10 times a week


more talent, bigger serve, better game

sure he's a lazy *********. but he can beat Andy, Djoker, Fed on any given day on grass. and that's no joke. knocked out Fed last year, played a great final vs. Murray last year

same old story as I wrote above. Ferrer not in Tsonga's class game-wise. both dogs have fantastic chances in the semis

btw, not a chance in hell Mug wins 3-0 sets vs Tsonga in the semis

if u look at Mug's late round Slam history (quarters and forward), his history of winning 3-0 sets vs. higher competition is horrible


plus the guy is a nut job. always throws in a tank job or goes off on a tangent. just the way Muggay is built
