I think Andy M could win if he plays his best throughout. He's going to have to serve very well and consistantly and he can't give too many unforced errors. Andy R relies a lot on his serve, if Murray can get a good read on it, he has a chance of winning the rally if he keeps plugging away and draining errors out of Roddick.
I think Roddick will win, Murray seems to throw in a poor game every now and then, and you can bet Roddick is going to mop up his second serve. Having said that 75% of first serves in against Fish, if he can do that again.....

Certainly. Hopefully Andy won't feel any pressure against Andy. And that seems to be when he's at his best. Loved it when Andy used to say "I'll lose to this guy" back in '05, because it usually meant he'd have a damn good crack at em.

Fantastic news to read that he is through to the semi.
This really could be a turning point for him this year. he has had a relatively poor start to the year and to get this far in a field of this class is a great achievement. When I saw the entry list for this tournament that someone posted it looked more like a grand slam than a regular tournament so full credit to Andy for getting this far. It really could spark a great turnaround in fortune for him this year.
To be honest, I think he will get thrashed in straight sets by Roddick, but to make a semi in a high class field when coming out of a period of poor form is a great start to get things going in the right direction this year.

This is tough, in fact almost impossible.
Although miracles are rare sometimes they do happen......COME ON ANDY!
P.S. Andy means the Murray one.

I think our Andy has a real chance here. This is the type of challenge he thrives on and, with a little bit of luck and some errors from Roddick.... who knows! |

 Roddick  Andy will win (so my prediciton will come true anyway  ) But seriously, I think Andy better try's to give all he has in this match and try to win a set, it'll be a great experience! |

I think Roddick's overrated and anyone with a decent return of serve can beat him, but this may be a step too far for Murray after a tough Quarter Final. Prediction: Straight Sets Win for Roddick. ...but hopefully I'll be proved so very very wrong  |
