2015 Australian Open Mens 4th Round: [6] Andy Murray vs. [10] Grigor Dimitrov

Who will come out victorious? Andy leads the HTH 4-2.

 

[The Green Mile]

I say Andy in 5!

 

[RS92]

Andy in 3 or 4 tough sets.


But he is going to win for sure.

 

[ArcspacE]

Dimitrov in 4

It is written

 

[Anti-Fedal]

Murray in four. Dimitrov is no good against the top guys.

 

[Midaso240]

Murray in four. Dimitrov is no good against the top guys.

Except when he beat Murray a couple of times last year,but those don't count because it was a different Murray right?

Murray hasn't done much against the top guys the last 12-18 months either. He has been replaced by Nishikori in the elite 4 and will never pass him again unless by injury...

dimi beat murray in wimbledon last year.

 

[ArcspacE]

dimi beat murray in wimbledon last year.

And in Mexico after the GOAT rally of 2014

 

[Anti-Fedal]

dimi beat murray in wimbledon last year.

Was a different surface. Murray has his number on hards.

LULz - Kei is nowhere near the Elite 4 yet, mate

 

[Midaso240]

LULz - Kei is nowhere near the Elite 4 yet, mate

I think he is,the only place I'd really consider Murray above him now would be grass. Kei easily anywhere else...

 

[Russeljones]

I think Murray's easy wins prior to this match might work against him. I expect a tight match. Hoping Grigor edges it.

 

[veroniquem]

This should be the best 4th round match. Hoping for a 5 setter.

Good interview by Dimitrov on the OS

Pretty much what happened at Wimbly last year

 

[Russeljones]

Pretty much what happened at Wimbly last year

I think it's safe to say Murray can never be as bad as he was last year.

 

[ArcspacE]

I still think Dimitrov will up his game against a good opponent - tough to call this one

 

[Strange Bird]

Murray will win this

Andy's latest tweet

‏@andy_murray

When I cramped and won in the us open last year I was a "drama Queen, unfit, needs to see a shrink, faker" weird...

 

[Deleted member 307496]

Murray in 4 close sets.

 

[Supertegwyn]

Murray in three.

 

[jga111]

Murray is looking fresh and his concentration levels are high. His game will yield a higher unforced error count for Dimitrov. I see no slip ups and he will win in 3 straight sets though one of those sets will be a tie breaker (probably the first).

 

[Deleted member 307496]

Murray in three.

One can only hope, although Dimitrov does have the game to at least take a set off Murray.

 

[ThomasGB]

Murray in four! Then onto beat Krygios (?), Nadal, and Djokovic! Now that Fed is out, I want Murray to win!

 

[Marius_Hancu]

Dimitrov hasn't been too strong out there. It'd be a surprise for him to take it.

 

[Legend of Borg]

murray in 4 unfortunately

i don't think another upset is gonna happen, but at this point i don't think upset would be the right word if grigor wins

 

[ArcspacE]

Love the fact he's going into the game as the Underdog - far less pressure

 

[The Green Mile]

On the contrary, one could say the pressure is on Dimitrov, to silence all his critics and to show everyone he actually belongs at the top, and is worthy of the hype he is getting. I am sure he is getting a lot of it, in recent times.

 

[Deleted member 77403]

After the events of today, I am going with Murray.

He has looked very focused this whole 2015 season so far, and his first three matches have gone exactly how he would have wanted. Added to that, knowing that his opponent has just been stretched to limit, and the big incentive of knowing that no Federer is waiting for him the quarters, I think Murray really steps it up.

 

[ArcspacE]

A nice little preview to get the juices going

[jaggy]

Dimitrov will have to move up a level from what I've seen so far this tourney. Murray in 4

 

[TheMusicLover]

Murray must be liking his chances now, and he's been looking fine so far. Dimitrov? hmmm...
Murray in three or four.

 

[ark_28]

I think this is hard to call! Grigor has a much better chance than most people here are saying IMO.

Yes Murray has won easily for the most part but the calibre of his opponents have been far weaker than the guys Dimitrov has been up against that could seriously hurt Murray if the match becomes tight.

If pushed I will say Dimitrov takes this in 4 but I think it will be tight.

 

[Deleted member 542803]

Murray in 3. Trashmitrov is overrated

 

[Rebel-I.N.S]

Underestimate Dimitrov at your peril.

This match will be very, very close.

 

[Sysyphus]

Murray will take Dimitrov to the cleaners. He will lambaste and steamroll the up-and-comer to set an example for the remaining players.

In the words of Hegel: Dis gon' be gud, brahs!

Be careful you don't end up eating your jumper in anger

[junior74]

Murray's consistency will get him through in 3.

 

[Sysyphus]

No, no. I love Dimitrov. He's my favorite player to be honest, so I wouldn't really be angry to see him win (the whole tournament preferably).

I have just accepted the inevitable and rejoiced in the power of the Maverick Murray, who will dominate this field thoroughly with his specialized brand of pessimistic tennis.

 

[Terenigma]

Murray in 4. Dimitrov will be his first real test but after watching his match against Baghdatis, im not convinced he's playing well enough to beat Murray on this court. Probably 2 close sets at first then a couple of breaks to finish him off.

 

[ArcspacE]

Odds on the game - certainly share the Murray sentiment

[vive le beau jeu !]

green or blue doesnt matter: grigor to beat andrew barron "muzzette" murray, officer of the order of the british empire, in straight sets.

 

[cc0509]

Murray in straights or maybe four. I will be shocked if Murray loses here.

 

[Fiji]

Murray.

Dimitrov is regressing.

 

[tenisdecente]

Murray in 3, if he does not play well, in 4. Do not see Grigor winning this one, specially after the exhausting match against the fat guy from Cyprus

 

[preeb]

Dimitrov didn't look very good yesterday. If I was a betting man, I'd probably put a few dollars on Murray in 4.

 

[Djokovic2011]

I'm thinking Murray in 4 sets and I hope he doesn't disappoint me.

 

[Kalin]

When exactly is the match, Saturday PM session? Grigor is a young guy and all that but 5 sets played is 5 sets especially when next you're facing the human moonball machine/ whine cellar known as AM (insert ridiculous logo here). Who does he think he is, the Scottish tennis-playing equivalent of the artist formally known as Prince?

Just kidding, I like Andy a lot. But I do hope Grisho wins, whatever it takes.

 

[uliks]

I expect Murray to annihilate the overrated Bulgarian. Andy in easy 3 sets.
