PresidentRomanov Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 What time does this start? Don't normally watch tennis, but seeing as it's Murray, I've got ?50 on Fed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gards Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Why does the roof being open suit Murray? The so called 'experts' say with the roof being closed Federer has the advantage as there's no wind and the bounce of the ball is more predictable. I.e. Murray needs some other outside factors to assist. Just passing on what the commentators over here are saying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neilnunb Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 if Murray's serve doesn't improve (though am sure it will) then he's fecked.

How can you accuse someone of bottling it against a man who has been in 18 of the last 19 Grand Slam finals and is on record as the greatest tennis player ever. To me the bottle crashes if you were favourite and choked it. Murray's time will come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
