Doesn't matter if he pushed him or not when he mentally capitulates when the going gets tough. Murray will not beat Cvac at the AO should they meet.

I agree at this moment but we don't know in what kind of form will Murray be in AO.

The going was pretty tough for Murray at 2-2 in the USO final after being 2-0 up; remind me how that finished?

Since 2008 Murray is 5-4 versus Rafa on hardcourts, 2-1 in hardcourt slams - including victory at the 2010 AO.

These are not the numbers of someone with 'no chance'.

Aren't you forgetting Murray's curious failure to mentally collapse against Djokovic in the final of the recent USO? What short memories some of us have!

Dude,don't start with your fierce defense of Murray on me. I was rooting for Andy in that final,and marked him finally winning his first slam as the highlight of the year for me. But even though he won that match,he is still mentally suspect.

Perhaps he is; but that's a quantum leap from 'he capitulates when the going gets tough'.

Murray has had way too many comeback wins for that accusation to stand up.

That was Murray before he won the Olympics and the US Open. He's one to look out for now.

NatF · 12-03-2012, 07:48 AM

To do it he needs to win one of the first 3 slams or be super consistant all year round. If he wins the AO I think he'll do it. If not he's going to find it alot harder.

I cant see Cvac losing at the AO to anyone. He will win and cement himself as the best Australian Open player in history. For once I agree with you.

I agree Noel is the rightful favourite, but you are straying into Clarky's absolutist territory with this 'Novak will win' malarky - it's not like you.

Novak is nowhere the level of prohibitive, odds-on bookies' favourite at the AO that Rafa is at RG

And behind Djokovic, Murray is the co-favorite. He could very well win it, we will just have to wait and see.

PrinceMoron · 12-03-2012, 08:34 AM

If Lendl thinks he can get another 80% out of Murray, then everybody had better look out.

What is "malarky" about being sure that Cvac will win the AO? He has been the best player there for years now so I don't get the butthurt from you about saying he will win it. I know you want people to pick Andy, but that's just not realistic.

Yes he is,and if they haven't picked him they should.

Djokodal Fan · 12-03-2012, 10:46 AM

unfortunately he will to go through only Djoker or Roger for a while whom he is very well capable of beating.

Unless he faces the spanish Bull, he will be happy and the day when it happens we'll see what happens!

Neither can Batz or anyone else. I am only picking who I think will win it,and it most likely will be Cvac.

That's a bit of a softening of your position is it not? I agree completely with you.

How many finals has Djokovic had against Federer at the Australian Open?
