Dreading Murray's fate tomorrow.

Fedex · 01-26-2013, 12:36 PM

Sorry to be so negative but I've just got a feeling Murray's going to get a mauling tomorrow.
Things have just swung in Djokovic's favour who has an extra day's rest and Murray coming off a hard 5 setter. And you need everything in your favour to have a chance against Djokovic who's looking like an absolute monster sends shivers down my spine.
He's like the Mike Tyson of tennis. Opponents beaten before they go on.
Just hope that Murray can make it respectable.
And if he somehow pulls off the win I expect various bits of players lying around for it.

Have some faith in the Don of Dunblane, he's in such a good shape physically, he'll do fine.

Physically Murray will be OK.

As an objective poster who doesn't care about both Murray and Djokovic -it's looking like a 50/50 match-up to me. I wouldn't even put Djokovic as the slight favorite despite him winning the last 2 AO's, it just doesn't matter as Murray doesn't care about it. As sure as hell Djokovic won't maul Murray and not even close.

Hopefully Djokovic will be in for a bit of a shock when he realizes he isn't beating up on Ferrer.

Pretty much sums up how I feel.

It might sound silly, but I was more worried about Murray losing to Roger than I am to Nole. Beating Roger in a slam was a journey into the unknown - beating Nole in a slam isn't anymore.

He's going to soar like a haggis!

Murray will be fine. There's no shame in believing he'll win. I do.

You need a song to cheer you up mate.

Right now, Murray is getting a whiskey transfusion.

Where was all this wailing when the shoe was on the other foot between the two, rest-wise, at the US Open?

Clarky21 · 01-26-2013, 01:00 PM

I'm dreading it too. I am dreading another King Kong impersonation from Lance after he wins. I wonder if this time he will just go streaking since he can't seem to keep his clothes on. They better hand out some barf bags before the match begins in preparation. Lol.

The Bawss · 01-26-2013, 01:01 PM

Really? You resorted to an anti-jinx?

tennisaddict · 01-26-2013, 01:03 PM

If Murray plays like what he did in the SF, he has a fair chance to win.

I think it is 50-50. If 2011 Novak shows up, it is difficult, but if it is anything like 2012 AO or later, then i favor Murray.

Thanks. That song's made a total resurgence.
One of the current top party tunes.

No - he believes it.

Fedex is never very optimistic about Murray's chances and worries about his physical frailties.

You don't like Novak's celebrations?

I, for one, am shocked.

Not believing in his chosen player? Sounds more like a bandwagonner than a true fan.

I'm a bigger fan of older music actually, than I am of today's garbage even though I'm not that old. Song hasn't made a resurgence in my mind because I never let it get too far away anyway. Listen to it quite a bit. Just put the iTunes on shuffle.

No not anymore. It's just you need the advantages in your favour when playing Djokovic otherwise it's going to be super tough.

I agree it's best to have them - but I still think he can do well. Not long now my friend - we'll soon see.

Have some faith in Muzza- he's been playing great and physically he's young enough he can recover. CMON MUZZA!!!
