Mark my words, Andy Murray will NOT win the 2009 French Open

 

[FEDERER>buttpicker.]

Mark my words, Federer will win the 2009 French Open.

 

[Shaolin]

Nadal 92% chance of winning

Fed 4%

Murray 2%

Djokovic 2%

Rest of Field 0%

Just hold the award ceremony and lets get on with the grass court season...

 

[vndesu]

cant we just get along and wait instead of spending all this time fighting?
lol
id like to see how much nadal would dominate, but then i wanna see upsets during the tournament.
just wait jeez xD

 

[ChuDat]

A better title would be Mark my words, Andy Murray will reach QF or SF at the 2009 French Open

 

[Kaptain Karl]

75% ... Nadal

10% ... Federer
8% ... Verdasco, Ferrer, Tsonga
5% ... Djoker, Simon, Murray
2% ... Everybody else

- KK

It is definitely higher than 75%.

Psst, Nadal_Freak. Look up there ^^. The name posting those numbers is mine. It's my opinion.

Why are you so bent out of shape about what other people think? This is just an InterNet forum; it's no big deal....

If Nadal wins the French Open *both* you and I will have been correct. (Pretty cool, huh?)

I don't agree with you but I'm not bent out of shape about it. just take a look at Nadal's winning percentage on clay and he's never lost on at RG. 4/4 He didn't even lose a set last year and his form looks even better this year on hardcourts.

The first is probably a better "bet" than the second ... cuz Roddick doesnt' usually get that many opportunities (matches) to flame the Ump.

What makes you think Tsonga and Verdasco are better claycourters than Djokovic? And not only that, but they have not proven themselves capable of winning a major championship though Tsonga appears to be strong enough to pull it off. He did win the Paris Masters last year in style.

Exactly. Nole is better on clay than Tsonga and Verdasco.

Might be a bit hard for Murray when Nadal is playing the tournament

 

[Hot Sauce]

Mark my words, Andy Murray will NOT win the 2009 French Open

Marked. Sounds about right.

 

[Hope]

You guys talk as if form is permanent. Roger Federer did not lose a match on grass for 5 years and lost at Wimbledon. Nadal has over-achieved this last year - remember the time he did not go beyond the quarterfinal between the French (apart from Wimbledon) one year and Monte Carlo the next? . Did anyone notice how he kept missing his forehand against Del Potro in Miami? And don't forget those knees.
I will take Mats Wilander's word for it (said in jest perhaps at the US Open 2008). Roger Federer will win the French this year.
As for Murray, he could do better than last year, but has anyone ever known a British winner? I haven't -they are not taught to win - we saw what happened in Melbourne. I say max 4th round.

 

[120mphBodyServe]

I admire the OP's courage...
Please let someone else win the FO and have Nadal beaten in a nerve wrecking 5 set final. Let it be Roger or Andy Murray...
I shall dream for that moment. Who is with me?

 

[Deleted member 3771]

I'll let the TAB mark your words. How much money are you dropping on it since you're so confident?

The amount you drop on it will determine how much you REALLY believe this will happen.

Its a very Australian thing to do too to punt and drop a few $$ on the underdog. You're going to be rich if you're confident enough to to back Murray as soon as possible.

So update the thread and let us know how much you will be willing to lose, hahah . If the answer is nothing then its not a very bold prediction then is it.

Make us look bad? hahahahahahaha
It is un-australian to not go for the underdog
and 2. I am one person who is voicing there opinion. I am not making you look bad at all. You make yourself look bad by saying something like that!

 

[thejoe]

Ok, hows this. I am playing in a tournament at the moment and if i win my round today i will get like 130 bucks or something along those lines. I will put half on Andy to win if I win.

You don't like the thread, dont comment. You sir are a troll, and I do not see the need why you have to comment. Leave it alone.

You'll be wasting your money.

 

[mbstriker]

Mark My Words Nadal Isnt Dead

 

[egn]

If Murray wins I will be happy to see someone challenge Nadal on clay but that happiness will be replaced with depression because these very forums will be flodded with millions of threads on why Andy Murray is GOAT.

If you bet $65 on Murray to win the FO now you'll end up with a whopping $975!! :shock:

[egn]

I would have expected Marat Safin to have higher odds than Andy Roddick though..he made a french open semifinal once.

 

[Ronny]

murray will not make it through past the 3rd round imo....just not good enough on clay compared to the other players.

 

[Breaker]

murray will not make it through past the 3rd round imo....just not good enough on clay compared to the other players.

Last year he lost to one of the best clay courters in Almagro, there are only three or four players at or above Almagro's level on clay so last year's Roland Garros isn't that great an indication of how he'll do. The only way is to see how he does in the warm up tournaments then pray to avoid Almagro in his section.

[batz]

What I don't understand is, hasn't Murray been training in Spain since young? Doesn't that mean he has (at least) decent grounding on clay? Why is it that he has been rubbish at clay tournaments thus far?

He went to sanchez-casal at the age of 15 and made a couple of CH finals as a kid on the surface. I heard an interview with the BBC a couple of days ago where he says he once 'played very well' on clay and believes he can do so again. He says the reason he's been so poor is that he's not invested enough time on the dirt to move well. Also says the key is to train his butt off on clay under Alex C's guidance so he can move as well on the dirt as he does on hard.

We'll see how he does - I think he can maybe make a semi on the dirt this year.

I tell you what though, Murray becoming a threat on clay would really set the cat among the pigeons.

Its not just his movement his serve that he relies on isn't effective on clay, he has a poor topspin forehand and he backhand is too flat and has no margin for error.

why?

10 chars

 

[batz]

why?

10 chars

Because up until now Murray has been labelled a hardcourt specialist who won't threaten on natural surfaces. Becoming a threat on the other surfaces would give him a genuine chance of being world number 1 one day. If he can't produce on the natural surfaces then he's probably gone about as far as he can.

That's why it would set the cat among the pigeons - it would give credence to the view that Murray can challenge for the number 1 slot.

For clarity, I'm not saying he will be a threat on clay. What I am saying is that if he did develop his game and became a threat on clay, then it would change the dynamic at the top of the men's game.

 

[charliexd]

Mark my words, Andy Murray won't win the 2009 French Open. Unless Nadal gets injured.

 

[Serendipitous]

Murray will do well at the FO, for sure.....

 

[GameSampras]

And who said Murray sucks on clay? . Hell he made it further than Fed did only losing to Nadal at Monte Carlo. Hell Murray may have even won Monte Carlo if Nadal wasnt in it. Not bad for a "crappy clay court player." His clay game is already improving. Murray will be a big big threat in a few years on all surfaces no doubt. I think we have Nadal's rival improving right before our eyes

 

[veroniquem]

Mark my words, Andy Murray won't win the 2009 French Open. Unless Nadal gets injured.

Neither Murray, Djokovic or Federer will beat Nadal at RG this year. They can all have a go at it if Nadal is out of the equation for whatever reason.

 

[cknobman]

Murray dosnt stand a chance against Nadal on clay and it was just proven two days ago.

As a matter of fact I think everyone is severely underestimating Novak. He is a very different player this time versus last year, some for the negative but mostly for the positive. He has in a way "come down to earth" and learned to respect his opponents more. Maybe his game is off a little but its clear he still has what it takes to be a top contender.

An out of form Novak fared much better against Nadal on clay than a "on fire" Murray. Novak is the only person to have taken a set off Nadal at Monte Carlo in over 2 years.
