- Start date
I still find it hard to believe - but even so, its a charachter trait because in ONE interview he might have been off- hmmmm talk about over exaggeration
A little harsh I would have thought - few pro's can live with Federer on a bad day , let alone a good day!!!

in recent times has murray had better results against fed?
i think it will be close and after what federer said about britain not winning a slam in hundred thousand years after his match should fire up murray nicely

Easy win for Federer 6-2 6-3 6-2.
Murray is going to have some fune and games.

It's 6-4 in favour of Murray on the head to head count I believe but Federer has won the last two. Should be a good game though.

The US Open Final Murray had played for the 3 days prior due to all the rain breaks against Nadal and delays due to weather so he didn't have the best preparation for that final. This time around Murray has had plenty of rest in advance of the final so will be completely rested and fired up for the final.
As to Tsonga today he looked beaten from the moment he walked on the court he just didn't turn up mentally or seemed able to try to raise his game against Federer. Might be harsh but thats the way it looked from watching it and he didn't seem to have any other way of playing to put any pressure on Federer. Murray at least knows how to get into Federers head on the court to frustrate him and we need him to do the same on Sunday plus really go for it fired up for the win.

Gotcha.
It wasn't one interview it was a much longer show compiled over a few days possibly weeks of his life. Tim knew he was being filmed and he was a **** throughout this show.
But my point was the stupidly over the top reaction due to Murray joking he wouldn't support the England football team. Things were said about Murray's character and still are..

Lose lose situation for Murray. If he wins he'll never get the praise he deserves because people will just say Federer had an off day, and lose and he's a bottler 
As it is I really can't see him winning. Federer's the master when it comes to peaking at the right time and I think Murray could be in for a torrid time. No shame in losing to the greatest of all time so I just hope he does himself proud and doesn't fall to pieces like Tsonga did.

Yeap will deffo be behind him, though I can easily see it being something like 6-4 6-1 6-2 or something.

Those last three games in the second set from Henin were just about as good as tennis gets. Devastating returning.

And Serena wins. Rest break after the second set did her the world of good and she came out a much better player in the third.
6-4, 3-6, 6-2
6-4, 3-6, 6-2

I'm going for 3-1 Federer. Murray's been impressive in this tournament but this may be one step too far. Won't begrudge him a win but I'm not sure he can pull it off. Should be a tight game, but Federer should show his class.
