AO is a pushers paradise. Advantage Murray

No. Federer will win, possibly in another grueling five-setter. I can't see Murray winning this tournament. Despite capturing the USO last year and the Olympic Gold Medal, I still rank Djokovic and Federer well above him.

No. Fed's time has passed.

We are now in the era of Lance and lance 2.0

No, winning a silver medal. The prize you get for LOSING.

It's all fun and games until federer misses out on his only opportunity at a gold medal in history. And when Nadal ends up with a leading H2H, the most slams, the most masters shields AND at least one Olympic gold medal in singles (and a calendar year grand slam), federer will long be remembered as a Jimmy Connors or Ivan Lendl-type player. Lots of records but largely irrelevant in the best-of-all-time discussion.

Don't get me wrong, I cannot stand federer. He is a smug, self satisfied egotistical maniac, and I genuinely hope Murray takes him to the cleaners.

Hey scoreline, why don't you take your dumb ranting to another thread.

I doubt the roof will be over the federer-Murray match, so indoor conditions won't be able to save him this time...

Lots of records and great by outlasting his younger rivals

Fixed for Truth.

There was no roof at the AO or USO when Fed beat him. Roof or no roof if Fed has his A game he will win. If he's exhausted (as Murray hopes based on his comments before Fed played Tsonga,when he said he hoped they played for 4 or 5 hours) Murray may have a chance. Fed is 31 years old after all - Murray's in his prime apparently.

People often describe John Isner as having the most dominant serve in the game. The most important shot in tennis.

From same article he also said this in 2011
"I don't see any reason why he won't have a fantastic clay court season."

And Murray had a great clay season for him that year, but that doesn't mean the guys not an idiot for saying what he said because he is.

You can say Federer has 17 slams and all these records and sublime skills but I've also seen Murray legitimately bagel Nadal for the loss of only 4 points in the set and Nadal said Murray was completely unplayable.
What I'm saying is would Federer's A game stand up to that.
Truth is we don't really know.

Ah the old you can't prove it so how can anyone possibly know logic? Fair enough, but the difference here is you have one instance for Murray, maybe a handful overall. If I was to make a case for Federer's A game I could use most of his peak years. With Murray, nobody can do that.

I don't care which dude wins. I just hope whichever one it is they beat Lance in the final. The very thought of witnessing another ape impersonation while he puts his grubby hands on yet another trophy makes me want to puke.

LOL Lance is the best nickname yet. And don't worry, I have a good feeling about this tournament. Murray is looking very fit (he got HUGE over the offseason, maybe he should be called Lance) and hasn't dropped a set. Roger got his bad match of the tournament out of his system and I don't think he will serve that poorly again. Whichever one of them meets Armstrong in the final has a great chance.
