Murray will either lose the match extremely meekly, or blow a big lead.

Either way, it is unfathomable that Federer loses this match.

tank, just watch roger's matches and see how badly he is moving and how much he is mindful of his back. He is Toast, and that back is gonna give out as time.

So? Murray has plenty of practice playing indoors on grass.
These pre-mature threads one way or the other are so nonsensical.

Hmmm, I think either could win or lose regardless but it might help Federer a wee bit if he brings his A-game and wants to maintain it throughout a long match.

As was pointed out, Murray has great results indoors and is actually playing a lot less of a pusher game than he does normally. The roof will help his serve. He's not Nadal who keeps getting pushed back as the point goes on, so I don't think the roof will be a factor.

First time i ever heard that indoor was slower.

Good. So you know now.

Murrayfan31 · 07-07-2012, 08:51 PM

Indoors are faster. Court gets greasy and skids more.

Bartelby · 07-07-2012, 08:53 PM

A roof is like a large umbrella for a Brit, so a sure omen for Murray.

Bartelby · 07-07-2012, 08:54 PM

It's certainly warmer and more humid with the roof closed so the ball might play slower if not the court.

The roof might make the ball slower in the air, but faster (or skid lower) off the surface.

Watch the matches. It's an ace fest indoors. So hard to break.

Bartelby · 07-07-2012, 08:58 PM

Aces might be due to the ball going where it should rather than the breeze taking it elsewhere.

Murrayfan31 · 07-07-2012, 09:24 PM

It's like ping pong in there. Wind isn't that big of a factor usually.
