2016 AO QF - Andy Murray vs David Ferrer

[La Grande]

I have a sneaking suspicion Murray will win this one but lose to Raonic in the semis, leading to a repeat of the Brisbane final on Sunday.

Novak wasn't in the Brisbane final babe

 

[sbengte]

Eventually he will be right. No player wins forever.

It is a shame Clarky isn't here when the chances of her being right have exponentially increased

 

[Djokovic2011]

You do know Djokovic is a solid favorite against Federer tomorrow, right?

Yeah but there's just too much going against him unfortunately. I've seen this script before and I know exactly how it plays out.

 

[Tuskarr]

is murray the most easily distracted player on tour?

spider cam, replay screen, random movement to his right

 

[Deleted member 307496]

Yeah, I've changed my mind over the last few hours. Fed in 4 unfortunately.

Don't see it.. and this is as a Fed fan. Stretch will up his level for the SF. Bet on it.

 

[Djokovic2011]

Novak wasn't in the Brisbane final babe

And he won't be in the AO final either.

 

[sbengte]

Must say Murray has a dream draw till the finals.

 

[La Grande]

Murray moaning? Who'd a thunk it?!?!??!

 

[Nathaniel_Near]

is murray the most easily distracted player on tour?

He's also easily the most distracted player on tour because Andy Muzziah Murray Jr. is due.

 

[veroniquem]

You haven't seen this script for almost 4 years actually...

 

[Terenigma]

Ack i have to go bed or im going to be dead and fired tomorrow. Enjoy the rest of the match guys and lets hope Murray can see this out in 3

 

[Djokovic2011]

We'll see Saby. But if Fed does win you're going straight on ignore.

Ha ha! So true. All I know is that if Serena Williams can lose to Vinci, Djokovic can lose to Federer. Unlikely with the age gap and conditions but not impossible.

 

[La Grande]

And he won't be in the AO final either.

We will see

 

[La Grande]

what did Clarky used to say?

If Fed does win you'd better hope so.

 

[Nathaniel_Near]

Oh yes no doubt you'll be hideous should Fed win.

 

[cc0509]

Murray's draw has been the easiest of all the players but Raonic could challenge him.

 

[Deleted member 307496]

That's if you're a Stretch fan.

 

[Deleted member 307496]

He still has to get past Monfils.

 

[cc0509]

He still has to get past Monfils.

True but my money is on Raonic in that one.

 

[Nathaniel_Near]

That's if you're a Stretch fan.

But I already find many Fed fans insufferable as it is.

 

[PHS_10]

Murray in straight sets. Can be his AO this.

 

[Djokovic2011]

You haven't seen this script for almost 4 years actually...

As I said earlier vero, it's really a combination of factors such as at it being a semi rather than a final(so less pressure on Fed), Novak's 16 successive finals streak(Fed just LOVES ending them) and also Tomic's recent comments about how far Roger is from Novak right now. Tbh I'll be genuinely surprised if Nole somehow beats all those odds going against him.

 

[The Green Mile]

2 BPs for Murray. And Ferrer was doing so well in this set...

 I never said I always get it right Pres.

Let's be real, you just are anti-jinxing Novak lol

 

[Deleted member 307496]

But I already find many Fed fans insufferable as it is.

Just like I find the Stretch talk quite irritating. To be quite blunt I'd be pleased if that ceased.

 

[The Green Mile]

The forehand was there! And he grabs his hamstring in pain. No further comment there....

 

[Deleted member 307496]

Fair enough.

 

[Nathaniel_Near]

Yes and no doubt you'll be ripping the crap out of them should Fed shut up the Stretch hype train and be making them pray for death, with the addition of a cathartic thread or two.

 

[jklos]

Did Muzzard just pull the 'bad shot.. Agh my hammy..."?

 

[Djokovic2011]

You'll see that I'm right on Thursday Nathaniel. And you'll be ****1ng buzzing about it when it happens mate.

 

[merwy]

Thought you were a Fed fan yourself?

Also, nominated for best display picture of TT.

 

[The Green Mile]

Murray screwed that up. Should have been serving for the 2nd set. Instead Ferrer leads 5-4.

 

[mavsman149]

Still great points going on

 

[bezs]

Crucial hold for Ferrer

 

[SpinDr.]

Murray trippin.

 

[Nathaniel_Near]

1. You're saying the same crap as always so on one occasion you're bound to be right, but the odds are against Fed and even if you end up being right your wrong record on Djokovic at latter stages will remain at 90% or so.

2. I won't give the slightest fluff if Federer beats Djokovic. You know why.

 

[RS92]

He will regret a lot those break points that he didn't take.

 

[Djokovic2011]

Let's be real, you just are anti-jinxing Novak lol

Not at all mate. I honestly think that Federer will win on Thursday, so much so that I've kinda resigned myself to it already. Oh well, at least Konta's still in the tournament!

 

[Nathaniel_Near]

Thought you were a Fed fan yourself?

Also, nominated for best display picture of TT.

And? How is this any sort of meaningful response . Am I to endorse Fed fans merely by virtue of being one myself? This is madness. No. Thanks though -hopefully it's obvious that I turned it into a tennis ball - was pretty lazy with it.

The tough losses from the last 2 years?

 

[Nathaniel_Near]

A SF is just a SF.

 

[sbengte]

what did Clarky used to say?

She would assert in every post that Nadal would lose (even if he is playing world #978) and that Djokovic would never lose another match till the end of time. All the while using some disdainful nickname for Djoker like Cvac etc

Ha ha, all the odds are in favor of Novak actually especially at AO!!! Fed is the one who has to beat them and boy, I wouldn't want to be in his place right now...

 

[Nathaniel_Near]

SP Ferrer...

 

[Inside Out Forehand]

Ferrer didn't have that serve to hurt big players

 

[SpinDr.]

Murray always looks seriously pained. Like, from the first point he's staggering around like he just escaped a pack of wolves.
