2013 Aegon Championships Singles Final - (1) Andy MURRAY vs (5) Marin CILIC

[Down_the_line]

Interesting final here. You have who many people believe is the current Wimbledon favourite and best player on grass right now in Andy Murray against a big serving Croat ('nuf said).

The overwhelming favourite here is Murray but do you guys believe Cilic has a shot? It would be really neat to see him take the title here and make a run at Wimbledon.

Cilic has a shot....he can make one set tight....and hope he capitalizes there.

At least he can work something in the 2nd or 3rd.

He lost to Murray last year in Wimbledon: 5-7,2-6,3-6!

[OKUSA]

There's nobody that can beat Murray when he's playing at his fullest potential on grass. Cilic is one of Murray's lapdogs, this will be easy

I wouldn't underestimate Cilic, especially after he beat Berdych.

Cilic could win the first set as we all know Murray can start off slow, I would still expect Murray to win.

Berdych has a different style to Murray, so I'm not sure that works.

However, I do agree that Cilic has a reasonable chance to take the first set, but I doubt he could take a 2nd.

I say Murray in 3 sets.

Of course Cilic has a shot - he's the reigning champion and has won his last 9 matches at Queen's.

No doubt, I actually think Cilic has the game to trouble Murray (big hitter off both sides who moves very well for a tall guy) despite their lopsided H2H but Murray is a far better competitor.

Overall, I predict Murray gets owned in 3 sets and wins his 3d Queens title

[Vamos Rafa]

Cilic goes a set and a break up, remembers he's Murray's lapdog and does a USO12 style choke.

That or Murray plays like he did in the last set yesterday and wins in straights.

Either way Murray wins.

It's dry but very cloudy at the moment here in central London. Problem is there is no virtually no wind to move the clouds along. However, with a bit of luck it should be possible for the final to be started - and finished - today.

Yeah, it is interesting to watch their matches. Cilic usually gives Murray a tough time even when he loses. It's like Gulbis-Nadal a bit.

[Rock Strongo]

I have yet to find a Croatian tennis player who hasn't got a good serve. Think Cilic takes it.

[OKUSA]

They be warming up, great rain delay otherwise I would've slept through the whole thing

[Homeboy Hotel]

The tennis is interrupting the rain delay.

[OKUSA]

Murray attacking that second serve brilliantly

[TheF1Bob]

Congratz to Muzza winning his 3rd Aegon Queens Championship.

[Terenigma]

This is the first match in a LONG time that Murray has started the match on form, why doesnt he play like this at the start of every match?

[ark_28]

Cilic breaks back!

4-3 murray back on serve

[Rozroz]

poor liar this Murray.. totally failed with the out call..

[Terenigma]

Murray over-dramatic scream of pain looks likes its ok for now, im sure he'll be fine physically but lets hope that doesnt hurt his mind-set. He might start thinking he if he chases too much he might make it worse, Thats what worries me.
