TMH, I was thinking the same. Having just watched the semi, I felt sorry for David. Everything he can do, Nole can do better. And David had no plan B.
Andy will have plan C, D and E.
And Ivan has told him to go out and "have fun." Excellent advice because we all know the kind of tennis Andy can bring when he is feeling relaxed and confident. Also, pressure nowhere near Wimbledon final and Nole is the favourite.
Oddly optimistic...eek

Strangely I feel far less stressed about this than I have been about any other match in this tournament. I was almost descending into complete mental breakdown yesterday. I think it's because I believe that finally he believes he can do this. I don't think he trully believed that until he had his Olympic Gold in his little paw.

He might not do it tomorrow, but equally he might. If he doesn't then next year he will make the final leap. Either way two GS finals and an Olympic Gold is more than Fed, NJ or Nadal have achieved this year.

Andy won't be giving any of the same consistent balls that Delpo and Ferrer fed him. I haven't seen the conclusion of today's SF between NJ & DF but Ferrer has played a tough 5 setter against Tipsy and the mental come down from yesterday of having the match abandoned when he was in such great position must have taken its toll. He is also 30 so this must have been a factor too.

Just out of curiosity what were the betting odds for the Olympic SF and Final?

Oh gawd. I feel sick already. Soooo close.......

It's going to be one hell of a match. I always said the future was Murray/Djokovic, but now it is the present.

So have I Scotnadian, ever since they came on he pro scene almost together I have felt that one day they would vie for No. 1&2 abd now, maybe, it is here. Andy and Lendl are working well together, now may not be quite the time but sometime very soon it will be. The pundits forcast now, I've been reading articles all day, but we shall see. All I know is that Andy's game is changing and for the better. That dreadful wind and Berdych, he still came through and Novak - he beat him in the Olympics, he can do it again. Whether he will this time I don't know - 'they' say he can but we must wait and see. Novak complained about the wind - Andy just got on with it, character can do wonders for the phsyche, maybe we will be very pleasantly surprised.

I'm really pissed about at the amount of Nole tards and folk writing of Muzz.   already.  A ball hasn't been hit yet.

Nole is not unbeatable.  ferrer flattered him today lets be honest.  On the other hand  Andy is getting to his best.  should be interesting.  CMON ANDY!!
