If Djokovic is in the final its very important that Murray is also in the final.
If Wawrinka is in the final its fine if Berdych is also in the final.

I completely agree. A Djokovic-Berdych final is the one combination I'll be fervently rooting against. It will make the ATP look like the WTA of 10 years ago. What a nightmare scenario. Every other combination would be competitive and fun to watch. I wouldn't mind seeing either Stanimal or Berd-man win the whole thing if I was being honest:clap

I'm rooting for a Murray-Djokovic final. It's the most appealing. People can say whatever they want about the stylistic match-up but big names draw.

^ Maybe, but I think a Wawrinka/Djoker semi will be the most entertaining. The last two have been absolute barnstomers here at the AO.

Yeah I agree. But I can't root for that match because it's happening.

I actually worry this one will be a disappointment. I'm not expecting it to be. I'm just afraid of that sort of outcome. If Stanimal plays like he did against Kei he'll give Novak a lot of problems, and I'm not sure Novak has had to find that level yet. Here's to a great match!

Murray - Djokovic is almost always boring and I don't see Murray giving him that much trouble at this AO either. Of course Berd has a horrible history with Nole but it isn't as bad as what he's done vs. Nadal. If Berd blasts through Murray (and it's a big if) it's hard to picture him not having a ton of confidence going into the final.

If Berdych makes the final against Djokovic, I won't even bother to watch it. Has "Straight sets" written all over it...

We get it, you watch nothing but Rafa. Wondering what will you watch once he retires, your tapes, over and over?:devil

Let me just pause this tape here for a mo...nah, I'd watch Djoker/Stan v Murray, because the outcome would be in doubt. And I might watch Stan v Berdy. But Djoker v Berdy?

Meh!

I don't think Djokovic has had the right matches to prepare himself for Wawrinka.
I wouldn't be surprised if Wawrinka beat Djokovic down in 3 or 4 sets.
Murray vs Berdych is an absolute mystery to me, have no idea what to expect.

Alright TF, this officially begins my period of watching tennis on replay, so no spoilers!

I am not one of those animals who stays up till 3 in the morning to watch tennis.
