Murray's fit but not on Nadal and Novak's level still in that regard, a grueling match against Novak in SF could drain his reserves.

Tell me, what do you think would have happened at this year's AO if Murray managed to get past Novak (which he was very close to do)?

If he is in Fed's half, I'd favour him to reach the final no doubt.

He could get a win against Novak and Murray individually but beating them both back-to-back (on HC in BO5) after 6 months of no match-play would be too tall of an order IMO.
