The gap with both of them is increasing. Murray getting better Fed getting worse

 Could go either way tomorrow, and so could the other semi, to be honest (I don't feel that Djokovic has such a margin over Berdych as he had before, but I might be wrong, we'll see). The interesting thing will be to see whether Federer and Djokovic suddenly raise their level when they need to with year-end #1 on the line (not that Federer would need to raise anything should today's Murray show up, but better count on him playing (much) better tomorrow). |

For all the predictions which you got right, if Federer wins tomorrow I'm gonna make you eat your own c**p. Maybe that will teach you a lesson before writing idiotic statements. www.youtube.com/watch?v=iiuyweZLy50#t=13m25s Oooohhh...That's got to hurt!

I feel like this one is a toss up, depends on who shows up. Whoever wins will be #1 in February... though I think Nole is very motivated and may win Shanghai and likely year end #1.

Got a dreadful feeling about this one.

This really is a toss-up.
Yesterday I definitely would have picked Murray since Fed wasn't that impressive. But today Murray had to defeat Stepanek (?!) in 3 sets, and was down a break in the 3rd. As a Fed fan I won't have my hopes up high, just like the Cinci final. If he loses it's alright since 300 weeks is locked already, but might get some surprises. |

This is impossible to predict. Both can reasonably be described as playing badly, for them. I can't believe their fans might object to that, as it's actually a credit to their abilities that they can be described as playing poorly, but still make it to the semi-finals of a Masters 1000. It's the other players that have been left in their wakes that should be feeling the pain of this observation.
There is a possibility that "tired, wounded" Fed will have a bit more motivation to raise his game in the hope of levelling the H2H with Murray. He wasn't great today, but the match wasn't particularly tough. It's hard to tell how much Andy's cold has been hampering him. He's plainly not at death's door and some of his tennis has been good, but he was plainly not playing at anything like 100% either. An on form Fed could have taken advantage of his sloppy play from the last couple of days. If Andy has a good night's sleep tonight, aided by a later start tomorrow, he could be much improved. The comparison with the Olympics (and Wimbledon) are equally irrelevant. This isn't grass, this isn't five sets and Roger is still older than Andy. The conspiracy theorists will presume that both players have been bluffing, deliberately throwing in some bad games, and sets, and will spring onto the court tomorrow like spring lambs, ready to take their opponent by surprise now they have a match against someone worth playing properly for. In reality, they'll both be motivated to lift their games, and we're just guessing which one can make the least stupid mistakes. |

Such a coin toss. Depends on which Fed AND which Muzz show up.

OK, update. Murray has an Asian flu. that is why he is playing so bad right now. so don't be surprised if Roger beats him tomorrow. Murray himself said this during the match today.
