I've thought about Berdych as the Winner aswell. His biggest nemesis is out.

not only the birdman, Cilic too, once Djokovic was out, these two have 100x more motivations to going forward.

Isn't this the case with just about all of the remaining seeds?

Tsonga always seems to lay down for murray. Murray in straights. Murray won't be tested until the final

The Muzziah to continue his march, he is looking in imperious form now. That was a clinical performance against Nick. He has been battle hardened after going toe-to-toe with the heavyweight champion himself, over the clay season. Only guy who can stop him imo is a full flowing Fed Express, anything less is simply not good enough. It is almost criminal that a guy like Murray hasn't won more slams, maybe this is where he can finally begin some sort of ascension upwards.

His only mistake was having djokovic and fed in the same era.

yes but the boost level is vastly different, for Cilic and birdman, it's 100x more, others maybe 50x or less

Murray in four.
Unfortunately for Jo, he's never been patient or consistent enough to match Andy's steady baseline game and his defense. Even though Jo has some serious weapons in his arsenal (forehand and serve) when he's zoning, he's never been able to put it all together against Murray. The exception is that performance in Toronto two years ago.

Berdych will be the dead end as an diss/karma smack for lendl

Tsonga's chances go up because he gets a rest. Lucky.
But I still hugely favor Murray, who is playing at a level so far way above what he did in 2013 and is back with Lendl.
I think the only person who can stop him is Federer.

Murray in 3. If he loses a set before he wins 3 Tsonga should get the win.
I heard Andy will send a white limo to pick him up and make sure he arrives on time.

There's no way I can pick against Murray with his 12-3 record vs Tsonga, including 2-0 at Wimbledon, and in light of the fact that 2 of Tsonga's wins came very early in their H2H.
That, said, I do believe Tsonga can make it "interesting" and has a slim chance of pulling off the upset. Gasquet's default resulting in Tsonga only spending 24 minutes on court today will do him world of good and increase the chances that he gives Murray a tough match.
Boring prediction, but Murray in 4.

It's actually 12-2. Tsonga's only wins came at 2008 Australian Open and 2014 Montreal.

I think this will be a beat down. Tsonga is simply too inconsistent and erratic to make any dent in Muzz's complete and total concentration out there. Go, Ivan!
True. I'm always amazed when I see Tsonga play Murray. When he plays Federer, he plays out of his mind, then acts like a doofus when he plays Murray. It's sad.
but Judy did it even better!
Not sure about that. But she was mighty pleased when Djokovic was knocked out. She couldn't help herself.
Matchups. Murray's style kills unorthodox offensive game. Orthodox offensive players like Dimitrov do trouble him a lot or just blast him off the court. Tsonga however has no hope. Judy at her very best managing draws. Intelligent lady!
Yeah, you're right. How are you enjoying the tournament so far? Which matches have you seen or enjoyed?
Certainly not as last year. Federer is far from being perfect as he was last time from R1 but he is improving. I didn't watch anything outside of CC this time tbh - 6.5/10. But still there is a lot Tennis left. Federer has good chance of winning too. This could turn into one the most memorable Slams for Fed fans, at least I hope so.
I hope so too. I'm hoping Federer can improve, but I'm not popping the champagne yet. The rain delay last week put a dampener on things a bit.

And this is why I've been waiting so long for him to become the regular 2nd seed. Draws get a whole lot easier when you're not guaranteed a semi against fed or novak.

Disagree. Pretty sure he would have picked Johnson, Pouille, Goffin, Vesely (over Kyrgios), and for the quarters he would have certainly picked Pouille, or Vesely if he makes it to quarters (over Tsonga).
Kirgios in R16 and Tsonga in QF is a cakedraw? I have seen way easier in the past (even though I was delighted to see Murray destroy Kyrgios again).
I saw several guys here calling Kyrgios a darkhorse and suddenly he became a cakedraw (once the match was over?)

Amen to what you said!
Had I been handpicking draw for my favorite, I would have certainly avoided both
I actually wanted Kyrgios to be in Novak's quarter.

I think what Pagoo means is that their gamestyle suits Murray but then credit to Murray for handling this kind of player fairly easilyAmen to what you said!

If you put R16 Kyrgios + QF Tsonga in any other player draw it will be considered tough.
There is something I noticed these last years, it is pretty rare now to see very tough draw before the quarter-finals for a guy seeded #1 or #2 because the difference of level are more importatnt. Last fairly tough draw I can remember before the quarter-finals is Wimbledon 2014 with Djokovic going through Stepanek, Simon, Tsonga, Cilic, Dimitrov and Fed.
