AO SF - Murray vs Cilic

No. He won't underestimate Cilic after the USO farce and he'll be gagging for a crack at (probably) Frauderer in the final.

If andy doesn't win this one it will be a real banana skin and quite honestly UNBELIEVABLE - much, much worse than last years US Open.

Thoughout the past 10 days he has been getting steadily better and better. Everything is beginning to work well at the same time - his serving, ground-strokes, his confidence but more importantly his composure and DETERMINATION. I think he truly BELIEVES and has matured leaps and bounds over the past year.
I can't remember having ever seen all of these factors coming together so well, even in the leadup to the final in the US. He knows that he is 2 matches away from the title that he has always stated would be his best chance of winning his FIRST GS.
Even although Nadal withdrew today, Andy knows he played a wonderfully tactical game and beat the pants off of Rafa. He also achieved this when he played Isner in the previous round so this mornings performance was no flook. Some on this site were very concerned before that match and look what happened!

The fact that he did loose to Cilic last year will only increase his resolve, preparation and concentration. He has been particularly focused over the past few matches (very pleasing to see) and I think he will be even more so on Thursday. He does not want to be known as the "nearly man" and barring a brain storm, nervous breakdown or a total balls-up of an evening............he's through.
The final though, is another question!

Do you guys think coming into this match as the overwhelming favourite may hinder Murray?

I don't think it will because he seems very focused, taking each match on it's own merit.

Lets not be too over confident, although I think Andy will win against Cilic but today was the first time he has mentioned nerves going into the semi final.  Hope he gets over that negative thought quickly!

Are you able to provide me with the quote that has him talking about nerves?

Ah, but as Henners said on the Today programme this morning, if you're not nervous then you don't care and you should always care, otherwise what's the point?
