Murray in 5
Will Murray be greater than Hewitt if he wins, NatF?Murray in 3 or 4. Hoping Milos wins his first but Murray has looked really good this fortnight and will be insanely hungry.
How about Murronic?Raorruy or Murraonic?
I'm looking forward to watching this final with a bottle of Smirnoff Ice, a big pack of crisps and being completely stress free throughout. Isn't it great that us Nole fans can do that for once?Because of the tradition, I will say
MONNNN - final chapter
But in all honesty, I would be very happy if MILOS wins too.
Here is hoping for 5 sets.
Last time that happened, I would have to go back to the 2014 US Open final. Just chilling and watching the sympathetic Nishi and neighbor Marin.I'm looking forward to watching this final with a bottle of Smirnoff Ice, a big pack of crisps and being completely stress free throughout.

Actually Raonic's serve will be good regardless. And the crowd cheers for Murray will be even louder.40% chance of rain on Sunday. I'm thinking a a closed roof will aid the Raonic serve and maybe allow him to hit a little more crisply.
Grass is the most favourable surface for Raonic, and it's not close in my opinion. It's fast enough for Raonic to attack the net succesfully, but slow enough to not get his movement issues massively exposed. Also, low bouncing, so he can slice a bit, and drop volley's don't sit up. Passing is also harder at lower bouncing surfaces. I don't think Raonic has a shot at the USO for example.Exactly and the Raonic win over Fed in Brisbane was a sign of things to come. I like Raonic on this surface in this match. He'll be harder for Murray to break. Murray's 2nd serve on the other hand (even though improved some) may be the ticket for Milosh to get some breaks. This is a better surface for Murray than Australia by a touch, but Raonic has done well on grass too. Raonic had Murray in Australia, but then had an injury and he's now finally getting back into form. Raonic won against a heavily pro-Federer crowd today. If he gets a lot of first serves in play against Murray he should be able to dominate in front of a heavily pro-Murray crowd. I like his chances a lot.
Nothing that has not seen before in other grand slams, there as been many who can go on about unfavourable courts, get over it.I would like to see Raonic win. Not because I am a fan, but because, as I stated before, I think organizers slighted Djokovic, and yes, tried to give him unfavorable court and times due to weather. So, nothing against Murray, I just would like the organizers to know it was all in vain. Yes, I might be slightly nuts.
Guess that is a painWatching Murray play is like watching pain dry
Fed would have had almost 0% chance of winning had he won today.
Murray hasn't beaten Federer in ages. Roger's chances would have been great.
Normally yes. But after limping across the finish line, Fed would have had almost nothing left physically for the finals.Murray hasn't beaten Federer in ages. Roger's chances would have been great.
Well, clearly I should get over it. I did say that I am kind of holding unhealthy grudge, right? Still, I was hoping Federer would win, but now I would like Raonic to win, but Murray is a clear favorite.Nothing that has not seen before in other grand slams, there as been many who can go on about unfavourable courts, get over it.
Raonic could win if he shuts Murray out on his service games, but it's over five sets,the edge has to go to Murray here
New Brexit math: 3 >> 17Wait till you hear the bollix from the BBC when he wins "Is Murray the greatest ever?" .... ¨How long before he is no. 1¨ ....zzzzzzzz I mean he was the King of Clay when he beat Djokovic in Rome ..
Injury or not Raonic got wasted by Djokovic on hard courts and Murray on clay.Grass is the most favourable surface for Raonic, and it's not close in my opinion. It's fast enough for Raonic to attack the net succesfully, but slow enough to get his movement issues massively exposed. Also, low bouncing, so he can slice a bit, and drop volley's don't sit up. Passing is also harder at lower bouncing surfaces. I don't think Raonic has a shot at the USO for example.
Will Murray be greater than Hewitt if he wins, NatF?
Scraping the barrel a bit on that last part duaneeo.I think Murray got this in either 3 or 4 sets.
But regardless, though disappointed over Federer, either outcome of the final is great. For Murray, a win just might make give his mental game that added oomph needed to seriously rival Djokovic. He would also be in an excellent position to win multiple slams and make the final of all 4 slams for the first time in his career. And how awesome it would be for Raonic to beat both Federer and Murray to win Wimbledon--something Djokovic has never done.
Let's just get it over with and give Murray his rigged title so we can move on to hardcourts. The ONLY exciting time of the season anymore.
No you are not. This is absolutely the case.I would like to see Raonic win. Not because I am a fan, but because, as I stated before, I think organizers slighted Djokovic, and yes, tried to give him unfavorable court and times due to weather. So, nothing against Murray, I just would like the organizers to know it was all in vain. Yes, I might be slightly nuts.

Pure scripted wrestling going on at Wimbledon?

Good to hear you are watching, many of the Fed tennis fans won't be.I agree fellow brethren
LOL. You are nuts. Schedule yes. Draw is random unless you are into cold balls theory.I think they made the draw beneficial to Murray for sure
I hope we can get one more Nadal resurgence and some great nole/nadal matches. I hate watching Murray play

Murray's best hard court surface is Australia type and its rather amazing how he won the US Open in 2012, but both Djokovic and Murray are not strong on North American hard courts. Barron's best surface is grass its just he's had a lot of competition. I'm not sure, but Australian hard courts rather than grass may be best for Raonic. Queens and Auz have Raonic very close to Murray. Murray seems to have more focus under Lendl and I supppose that will carry him through, but Raonic has McEnroe and that may trump Lendl.
Bring it ON!The 90's power of the Youthquake.

but his groundies need all the help they can get. I wish him all the luck.Actually Raonic's serve will be good regardless. And the crowd cheers for Murray will be even louder.
The only thing Raonic wins is 'hotter arm candy' - his nerves will be shot.
Murray, something like 62 75 63.
Djokovic has 2 US Open titles and 3 other finals and 3 Canadian Masters titles. Murray has 1 US Open title and 1 other final, 3 Canadian Masters titles and 2 Cincinnati titles. I think that proves they are both reasonably strong on North American hardcourts.
I guarantee you they won't be missed.Good to hear you are watching, many of the Fed tennis fans won't be.
