Brad Gilbert, considered by many as the best coach in the world, has backed Andy Murray to beat Roger Federer in five sets on Sunday's final at the Australian Open.

Murray's ex-coach believes the Scot has the better game overall, pointing out that his backhand and speed is better than Federer's. More controversially, Gilbert does not believe that Federer, the 15-time Grand Slam winner, has the mental edge going into the match.

Murray's got the life time record against him and he asked for him [but] Roger beat him at the US Open. Andy Murray in five sets.

Who has the ege, Federer or Murray? (1 video)

Who Has the Edge, Federer or Murray?

I agree with Brad.  If Andy brings his A game by not being affected by nerves then I believe Andy will win in 5 sets.

Well, if Gilbert doesn't know what goes on in Murray's head tennis-wise, who does?        And who's Patrick McEnroe anyway????? - don't recall him winning any Slams!

I'm going with Brad's ticks and also Murray's Granny by saying that "If he plays as he can play" he's got a fighting chance.   He's gonna be nervous, but that's not necessarily bad a thing - get's the adrenaline going.   Fed maybe too complacent?           cmonandy

That was ridiculous to be fair.

Murray does indeed have the edge on his BH, return and speed, but Fed's forehand is worth about 5 ticks when it's on form.
