Personally I feel Muzz would be very frustrating to play against,he gives you many off pace balls,he dosent allow you at times to get any rhythm in a match,he is one of the best returners in our present game,he is also a very instinctive volley player,good defender as well,he can turn defense into offense,has one of the best 2 handed bhands as well.Gee I am sounding like his PR agent arent I?:)

If it is indeed gonna be a Djokovic v Murray final we couldn't have asked for a more awful final imo. Matches between those two suck a good 50% of the time if not more.

Kimgate rumbles on, with professional lip readers being brought in, none of whom agree exactly in what she said, but you get the drift easy enough... :laydownlaughing

I agree, Front. Of all possible combinations of the Big Four, Djokovic/Murray is the least interesting.

IMO, Murray is most interesting when playing Rafa, and Djokovic when playing Roger.

^ Yup, those would be my picks for some of the best viewing in finals too, tented. I actually would love to see a final between Nadal and Nishikori or Federer and Nishikori also.

I agree! Murray's accustomed to opponents getting frustrated with his "gets" and interchanging aggressive/passive, defensive/offensive play! I understand his feeling; running down all shots and frustrating a player, but he ends up being the one "losing it" because Nadal and Djokovic are just "that much better!" Murray's taken a few matches that meant something in the record books over Nole, but overall, he should be able to take his 5th title and "own" that trophy like no other male in the OPEN Era! :p :dodgy:

Don't count Stan out yet! A Stan-Muzz final would be fun to watch. But I think Djoko takes the Norman Bates Trophy.

Stan is just as skilled as Federer, but something between the ears holds him back! He's always competed well against Nole, taking him to the brink, but I can remember only last year's QF at AO where it was so tight, Nole cracked! Normally the #1 player in the world has the advantage in this situation! :angel: :dodgy: :p

If it is Murray-Djokovic I hope Andy hits that forehand aggressively for the sake of an entertaining match. Regardless I will be hoping whoever makes the final beats the Murr-ball.

That's what I've been "ripping" Murray about for years; knowing he could do more and finish up matches quicker while being aggressive! It's about time, but Nole's my pick with his style and class! :p :ras:
