I guess I am the only happy person with the timings...perfect for me!!

I second that Zarfeen.  My best seat is for the afternoon session.  This will be my first live match and my wish was for Andy and Novak in the afternoon.  I am never usually that lucky - so can't believe it has worked out like this.

Hope everyone enjoys the match tomorrow, live or recorded.

Im not in the band who thinks the draw was rigged. I think Fed got lucky tho... there's a diff.

Still not sure that luck is a factor when discussing a tournament involving the top 8 players in the world. Look at it this way, if Andy has it tougher during the RR stage than federer, not only will he have an easier semi final than fed, he will have been tested more and better prepared, that's my take on it anyway

"There are so few opportunities out there when Federer's playing so well, and towards the end, he found his rhythm. It really was a masterclass. Tipsarevic played pretty well, but what can you do?"

What Boll**ks! ...... Tipsy...weakest player...didnt even play that well...terrible performance from him I thought.... Fed ..some nice touches around the net really can't judge his form based on that quality of opposition.

I'm glad someone thinks the same as me. I thought Tipsy was terrible today. He didn't sound well, to be fair, in his pre-match interview, but even allowing for that he was poor.

As I said on another thread, I think we'll get a better idea of Federer's form when he is playing someone who is capable of beating him, because, based on this, and the fact that I think they said Tipsy has never beaten Federer, Tipsy isn't capable of it.

In fact I am glad Murray is getting tested because he will then be able to find a rhythm and really pounce on his chances. And if we look at it statistically Federer's half isn't actually that easy. Ferrer and Del Potro are two of the most consistent guys this year and Del Potro beat and nearly beat R-Fed on two occasions this year. Despite Ferrer not getting as close to beating Federer as Del Potro had he has still given Federer a lot to think about when they are battling it out on the court.

Fed  has 2 pigeons and and turkey.      He can't complain.  on the subject of this match.  I think Andy will win a tight  2 setter

The timing is definitely a bit early for me. I would have liked the 2nd timeslot and probably it would have been better for Andy too, but I guess we will have to take whatever we have in front of us.

After these two tight matches, Andy will be slightly knackered so it's best that he'll be meeting Tsogna next. Tsogna should not have much left after the match against Berdych. I’d like him to take Berdych out if possible and he can actually but it’s sitting 50/50 with me right now.
