There is alot of stuff wrote in the press about Murray that simply is not true be it for him or against him so people who only watch Tennis every so often or listen to the media generally get the wrong opinion about him that said some great players in any sport have to have bad attitudes to get to where they do and Murray is definately one of those you also have the Federer's & Nadal's who do not have that attitude but still win but in the past you had the likes of Mcenroe, Edberg, Rios etc etc who did have an attitude along with there game.
I never support one player over another in Tennis no matter what there nationality for any other reason than for financial gain as to me if i did i may make bets for the wrong reasons so i do not care who wins tonight.

On the game it is pretty simple to me if Murray plays like he did against Nadal he will beat Federer no question but to put 2 performances like that in is not easy and i still go by what i said before Murray will beat Nadal but it is a year early to beat Federer

Hmmm not so sure!!

Federer is a great player but in 2008 he`s been getting beat left right and centre in most tournaments! (Murray beat him in Dubia)

Murray has a fantastic opportunity tonight to take him down again!

Yaiyam: I'm not sure where you got the idea that Edberg was one of the players with "attitude" because nothing could be further from the truth. Stefan was a gentleman both on and off the court.

I think Federer will win - Murray may not be able to sustain his high level for another match. I wish him well, however.

No around the early 90's i have been looking back and if i saw his name i would remember him but just cannot even think of the first later but have a picture of him mentally as clear as HD

Pat Cash ? Jim Courier ? Ivan Lendl ?

It would seem that Federer has put Murray well and truly in his place tonight. Good experience for the Scot though, difficult to see him breaking into the top 2 in the rankings without winning a grand slam.

plenty of time for that TGS.. he is 21 years old.

Now ranked #4 in the World so sure to get easier draws in the Slams from now on and every chance of making the semis at least in most GS events for a while.

Has significantly closed the gap on Djoko (1815 points now, was over 3000 points behind not long ago). Murray has virtually no points to defend (well it's 570 actually) between now and the Aussie Open. He didn't play Shanghai last year so is sure to pick up points there and he lost in the first round of AO 2008... surely going to go much deeper next time round.

Djoko on the other hand has 1000 points to defend at the AO (winner) and there has to be a very good chance that he won't repeat it hence losing points relative to Murray.

Depending on how things go Murray could be #3 following the AO... and even if he isn't he is sure to be breathing down Djokos' neck by then
