Murray is emerging on the scene now that Nadal is away...once the king of clay returns...Murray will be placed under check...Old man Fed face has done enough...it's really over 4 him.....Djoker.....now let's see what happens..... it's Murray time until and if Nadal does ever return 100%.
But remember how Andy dismissed the king of clay in Japan last year. |

I suspect you are trying to provoke, so I'll just say this. Do you want to bet? |

Oh Andy, I'm deeply ashamed of having any doubts.  Congrats to those brave enough to go for Andy in 2.  Best moment? That brilliant body serve and Fed's tetchy response.  10-8 and definitely counting.  |

What I want to know is: technically, does this count as beating Federer indoors?
I doubt it, but come on, patience, we can wait for Paris for that lol. |

Andy Murray will not worry about RN return to the tennis tour at his best Andy can beat RN except on clay,but then not many players can beat RN on clay. |

Well done, Andy and as usual an excellent report, Nigel.
There is no doubt that Andy is under Federer's skin and the 10-8 statistics show it. For a long time he has shown how much he dislikes playing against Andy
In addition, Federer is starting to show his 31 years and it's becoming obvious that he, Federer is on the way down. Yes he is still number uno, but for how much longer? Have a gut feeling that he will retire in 2013.

Can't understand Federer these days. He has no game plan - like when Andy was pinning him deep in his backhand court he kept trying to hit his way out of it. Should have chipped it back deep to get back court position but maybe he knows his game isn't good enough against the top guys.
I can see Federer playing on till he drops out of the top 4. Could be a while yet as he's still good enough to be no.4 for another year or 2.

A match which I thoroughly enjoyed...those killing returns were just jaw dropping.
Hope those are back for the finals too!!

I think he's so arrogant that he believes he doesn't need one. That was in effect what the comms were saying, though without the arrogant bit of course. Said he just trusts his instincts to know what shots to play. |

Yeah, Federer is actually getting sluggish now and his shot selection and returns are good but not good enough to win the matches against top guys..that is why he falls in the last hurdle. Still surprised how he won the wimbledon. |
