2014 Aussie Open QF: Federer vs. Murray

[herios]

Congratulations Fed

Good job by Roger indeed. He needed this

 

[Front242]

fair enough Goldenboy

 

[Front242]

Madrid never favoured Rafa though actually

 

[Front242]

thats the most unclay claycourt in existence

 

[brokenshoelace]

BB, get your excuse straight: Its not the blister, its the taping.

 

[Front242]

basically hardcourt

 

[DarthFed]

Yeah and thats clay, needless to say this AO surface isnt as heavily in Rafas favor

 

[brokenshoelace]

That said, Nadal was clearly bothered by it. The serving performance was obvious.

 

[DarthFed]

History and matchups are heavily in Rafas favor regardless of if they play on clay or the moon

 

[brokenshoelace]

I dont think hell serve like that vs. Roger though. Even if hes bothered.

 

[Goldenboy]

just adds to my point that Roger beats Rafa on any surface if Rafa plays bad. So on this surface, if Roger plays good, he has a

 

[Goldenboy]

real shot

 

[kskate2]

im off to make the SF thread. See everyone for tonights match

 

[Front242]

he can beat him playing well too by the way

 

[brokenshoelace]

By comparison, Wawrinka-Berdych feels like such a lightweight semi. Cant get up for that one.

 

[Front242]

yeah I probably wont get up for it lol. 12:10pm here and I havent gone to bed yet

 

[Goldenboy]

True Front, but if Rafa plays well on Friday, I pick him to win. The form he showed against Monfils should be enough.

 

[Front242]

well Id pick him to win too as Rogers game always goes down the toilet when they play 99% of the time unfortunately

 

[Front242]

and thats even when Rafas not playing well. See RG 2011

Until Roger proves he can man up vs. Rafa there is only one choice
