Olympics 2012 Men's Singles Final: [1] Roger Federer vs [3] Andy Murray

[kishnabe]

They have met on Grass once being the 2012 Wimbledon final with Roger Winning Obviously.

2012 Wimbledon Final :Federer def Murray 4-6,7-5,6-3,6-4


I think it would be similiar with Federer winning in 4 again.

Federer work will be much easier with the Roof on....I doubt it though....the rain has been kind to Wimbledon Olympics.

 

[-RF-]

Really....?

 

[Hood_Man]

This seems a bit mean...

 

[kishnabe]

Nope Murray 2 points away...it's Working.

 

[jaggy]

What time do they play?

 

[tennis_pro]

Lol good thread.

If Federer recovers - I'm taking him in 2, if not, Murray could take this in 2.

Edit: no, wait, the finals best-of-5. In this case I'd take a replay of the Wimbledon final.

Best of 5 sets at the finals.

 

[TMF]

Murray has the home court advantage again. Another mountain to climb for Federer

 

[Hood_Man]

...Touché.

 

[tennis_pro]

Best of 5 sets at the finals.

Just realized 2 seconds after I posted.

Federer is the favourite stop with the underdog stuff.

 

[BigServer1]

Murray in 4 sets. It's not Wimby, but winning a Gold medal in front of the home crowd would be a great achievement.

 

[Walenty]

I think Murray will win it, this is his time.

6-4, 5-7, 6-3, 7-6

 

[bullslayer]

nadal in 3... oh wait

 

[Russeljones]

Fed in 5. This tournament deserves max drama.

 

[Cup8489]

5 Sets for the Maestro. Murray will put up a real fight this time around.

 

[Strategy]

If Murray loses again.. x_x

 

[TMF]

Federer is the favourite stop with the underdog stuff.

Murray only needed 2 sets to beat Nole while it took Roger over 4 hours to beat Del Potro. The final is a 5 setter, so bad for Roger when he need times to recover.

 

[Rozroz]

i hope Fed will come up with a better gameplan than Nole.

 

[Tennis sensation]

if fed recovers then fed in 4 otherwise murray in 4

 

[Strategy]

What day and time is this match?

 

[SQA333]

Gonna be a much more exciting match than the disgusting Nadal-Gonzo one in 2008.

 

[TennisBatman]

Murray in 5

 

[jonnythan]

Connors in 5.

 

[THUNDERVOLLEY]

Federer is the favourite stop with the underdog stuff.

agreed--some want to paint him as such so we do not point to Federer's easy competition.

 

[TMF]

if fed recovers then fed in 4 otherwise murray in 4

Murray will still be the fresher of the two. If the match goes to 5th set, Murray wins.

 

[tudwell]

Federer 32-30 in the fifth set.

But really I'm going with another Federer victory in four sets.

 

[smoledman]

Sunday forecast T-storms, so the roof will be ON.

 

[FlashFlare11]

Both of the players I wanted to see in the final made it, so I'm pretty happy.

I feel selfish for wanting Federer to win gold and take it from Andy, as I'm certain Andy must be sick of having to deal with Roger everytime he gets to a final of a huge tournament. I would be happy with either result. I'd be happier if Federer won gold but not really that disappointed if Murray were to win instead. He deserves it and it would be huge for him.

I pick Federer in four, though am very prepared to be proven wrong.

That unfortunate...Federer in 3 it will be!

 

[Federererer]

Anyone know what time it starts?

 

[smoledman]

Obviously Roger dash the hopes of GB again.

 

[McEnroeisanartist]

perhaps, i am a biased federer worshiper, something tells me Federer is going to be amped up for this match. I think Federer in straight sets, like 7-5, 6-4, 6-3. Look at Federer against Benneateau. The Frenchmen played him super tough at Wimbledon, and then Federer put a beatdown on him at the Olympics. I could see something similiar happening in the final. Murray played so well for the first two sets of Wimbledon, and it was only 1 set all. Federer didn't play that well then or today. He can only get better.

He has to cut down his UFEs. too many free points against Del Potro.

[Rozroz]

the OWL behind Muzza !!

 

[smoledman]

Bring it on!

 

[Gingerbread Cookie]

Damn, I voted Fed in 3 forgetting that the final is best of 5. I meant Fed in 4.

 

[namelessone]

As a neutral party here I want it to be good but from what I've seen so far, big finals and Muzza don't mix very well. Hopefully he can change history. If he puts up half the fight DelPo did I'll be satisfied.

DelPo has a massive monster forehand, Muzza has..... ????

 

[kanamit]

The only way the final would have been decided in 2 sets is if Djokovic made the final.

 

[ductrung3993]

Murray fares well in the poll! :shock:

Hehe.

Retired10ch

 

[kevin_95]

Federer in four sets

 

[kanamit]

Murray fares well in the poll! :shock:

With Murray having a home court advantage and the wind at his sails, and Federer coming down from an emotionally and perhaps physically draining contest, this is obviously Murray's best chance of besting Federer at an event bigger than the Masters 1000. Still, I think it will be close.

 

[brinkeguthrie]

What is the date/time for match?

I don't see it on this schedule.

 

[wilkinru]

Cmon Murrah.

I am a huge Fed fan, but I want you to get a little glory too. We need a new generation also.

Just stay the hell away from majors until the old man is done

 

[TheF1Bob]

Feds winning this regardless of how many sets it takes him to do it.

FACT. 8)
