Andy Murray/Tennis thread 2013

Due on court at 8:30am

See you all tomorrow morning

[Buzzo]

8:30 start. I'll be up whatever due to children.

It's weird not having the anxiety of wondering if he will have the bottle to land a slam. Now he has one in the bag, it doesn't matter so much if he loses. He has made 3 consecutive slam finals, and looked cool as ice against Roger.

I have a feeling Murray may sneak it in 5 sets.

I can't wait

Murray in 4 for me, think he's in great form and this could really be his year

[Darth Marty]

I also think Murray will have a great year winning at least 1 slam but in all hinesty watching Novak in his semi made me think hes ****ing brilliant & I cant see anyone beating him.

Hopefully he will sprain his ankle early in the 5th set though

Heart says Murray, head says not a ****ing chance.

[Gibbo]

Djok in 4.

Recording it as not a chance I'm getting up for half 8!

[Shaggy]

Come on Andyyyyyyyyyy!

[RichC]

Interesting stats here - bloody even if you ask me - Djok more court time, Murray less time to prepare for the final. 45% of return games won for Murray is amazing.

Cannot wait for this

I think Novak wins, but if Murray pulls it off, I'll go mental!

So come on, Andy.

[JohnDoe]

Murray's playing with so much more confidence. Those GS finals nerves have completely vanished, he knows he can do it now.

[Shaggy]

What a point that was. Murray hits the ball so ****ing hard.

[RichC]

Gamesmanship from Novak looks to have begun already

Massive hold from Murray

[Darth Marty]

For me it seems like Murray is being a little too passive so far, also seems to be hitting a lot of short balls which allows Novak to get ahead in the rallies. Still, on serve.....
