Martyn Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Will play Roger or Wilfred in semi final. I've no idea why, but I read that as "Will play Roger or Wilfred with a semi"!

eddie Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Federer totally unimpressive while beating Tzonga in 5 sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Vegas Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Every tournament ususally the winner has a lucky match here or there... I can't belive how easy Murray route to the semi final is... No guys in the top 20 I don't think.. The likes of Del Potro, Birdych, Ferrer, Almargo, Tsonga, Tipsarevich, Wawrinka, Gasquet... Any of these guys would have given him a good game, a testing game.. His route has been ridiculously easy, low ranked players plus an injured Simon... Now he has the hard part, beating Federer and the Djoko in the final.. It will be tough, he has a habit of losing to Fed at the majors, especially hard court majors.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Of course, Murray SHOULD have played higher ranked players if all matches had gone according to the seedings, but it just so happened that they were defeated by players who actually played BETTER than the higher seeded players did. So Murray, in boxing parlance, 'beat the man who beat the man'. Incidentally, for any of the players you named, why do you feel that Murray would have undergone a sterner test? He might just as comprehensively blown those off court too. Ferrer has only ever beaten Murray on clay (apart from the end of season round robin event), Del Potro has only ever won on clay, Almagro has only ever won on clay, Gasquet in the last 5 years has only beaten Murray on clay and Tsonga has only taken a set off Murray once in their last six matches, Tipsarevich or Wawrinka, I grant you, might have been in all likelihood a stiffer test, but we will never know.

eddie Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I think we can safely say that he's the real deal now, and will in all likelihood win multiple grand slams. If Bris says so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
froggg Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Can't believe I slept through that lot.........it was looking a piece of wee as I drifted off with Murray winning 1-0 and 2-2 in the second set......

ladyram Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I hope he wins Wimbledon this year but even tho fed isn't at his best, he cant be ruled out. And Doco is awesome. But, Andy is doing quite well holding his own that's for sure. Roll on the champagne & strawberries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddie Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Federer and Nadal will struggle to win another Grand Slam between them. If Djokovic doesn't beat them, Murray will. I'm not sure about that. Nadal on one leg would be a threat at Roland Garros Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I'm not sure about that. Nadal on one leg would be a threat at Roland Garros His knees are gone. He may get to the semis in Paris, but I think he'll retire soon. Federer has half a chance at Wimbledon, but he may retire too in the next 12 months.

Federer has half a chance at Wimbledon, but he may retire too in the next 12 months. That remains to be seen - he's not played for 6 months but is going to be entering some clay court tournaments in South America in the next few weeks as part of his preparation for Monte Carlo and Paris. I agree that Wimbledon probably offers Federer his only chance of another slam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
