    With a face like that it's very unlikely But yeah he has the potential as long as he keeps his cool

    Thats actually a good sign hes winning / won or hit an awesome shot.

    He plays the Djoker tonight - I think it might be his best chance yet but who knows ...

    He actually has an 8-6 advantage H2H but both wins were during the Summer when Djkos form had clearly dipped a lot.

    Also no man has ever lost 5 GS finals so he has ( perhaps ) fate on his side too, we'll see.

    My prediction

    5 sets.. Murray - just

    If the wind or elements get involved that will work in Murrays favor too I think.

    I'm going to be negative I'm afraid and say Murray will lose quite easily.

    I was trying to jinx it more than anything (I'm usually wrong). I hope he does win.

    Funny , I get superstitious too about sports , I will do all sorts of things sometimes when hoping for my side to win - including bet if the odds are good.

    No, djoker will have him 'physed out' unless Lendal comes up with some magic from somewhere.

    [QUOTE=merdat;2619509]No, djoker will have him 'physed out' unless Lendal comes up with some magic from somewhere.[/ ]

    Murray has surprised me, his forehand is now a weapon and he can hustle better than djoker and adapt better.

    Will he be psyched out - no , hes too experienced and turned a corner since the Olympics.

    But hes going to have to beat 2 opponents out , not just Djoker , but himself too and that is the real challange - unless Djoker is playing lights out - i believe he is capable of doing it.

    Whether he can is another question , but usually if something bleeds it can be hurt.

    Nor have I , Im not 100% sure he has it in him , but I do feel hes capable ( physically ) its the mental part of putting the final nail in the coffin Im not sure about.

    Some people are just naturally good at that when it comes down to the wire , while others are not ( Gary Neville any one ? )

    However it turns out I dont think Murray will win it easily , and if he does it will prob be in 5 hard fought sets ..

    I hope it goes 5 because he has yet to win a set in GS final ( if you exclude the Olympics )

    Its do or die time .

    If Murray does fall I dont think it will be his last chance , but it will make the monkey even bigger.

    Re: Can Murray win his 1st grand slam?

    I think Murray is going to run out of steam and Djok will take this. Murray needed to smash him at the start, his style of play is too exhausting to keep up for the full 5.

    Edit: How is Djokovic sliding on the Hard Court?

    Edit2: looks like I might have spoken too soon, Nokak is folding pretty bad!

    Murray has had a days rest and just as fit as Djoko TBH so I dont agree.

    ALSO .. Djoko has had a history of breathing problems in long matches in the past, and as you can see can not handle the wind ( why he is playing so bad )

    Sliding into shots is something normally only done on clay, Djoko is freak of nature in terms of flexibility so maybe thats why , though its not something normally done , and prob not kind on your joints either.

    Djoko in trouble , but I think theres more twists yet ( esp if the wind dies down )

    Murray looks like hes going to take the 2nd but watch out in the 3rd.. if he chokes Djoko will be all over him - then again Djoko just doesnt seem into it at all , the same way he wasnt 2 days ago when lost the 1st set 6-2 in the semis. ( it was windy that day too unlike yesterday ) so not a good omen...

    Which is stronger , Andys nerve or Djokers ability to dig deep ?

    We shall see...

    Long way to go yet..

    This is really only the 2nd part really , Id expect Djoker to take this and then maybe the 4th by closer margins.

    Murray really needs to stop this going into a 5th set if he can or I fear his nerve wont hold up against the momentum Djoko will have built from coming back and going into 5th.

    Re: Can Murray win his 1st grand slam?

    4 th set coming up to ACDCs back in black

    This is crucial for Murray now , to pick up his game as Djoker is going to be rolling.

    Business is about to pick up big time.

    The more I look at this though , the more I have my doubts he could handle 5th , so he better break back and find a way to edge past or I fear its lights out if it heads into the 5th
