Andy brain-farts, but safely takes it home in four.

Don't like either of them and an atomic bomb isn't possible so. Hmmm. But yeah, I reckon McToothy in 4 also.

I think Andy gets this in straights. His game is pretty much a nightmare for Ferrer, hence 7-1 Murray in their last 8 encounters.

I still can't forget. Once in a Master's final match, in match point against Andy, Ferru stops play
(that too after actually sending the ball to the other side) and claims Andy's ball is out. To his misery, he finds it is not actually out and the MP evaporates (needless to say, the match also).

Hope Ferru does not do such stupid things.

I remember that. I think it was the Miami final a few years ago.

Murray probably wins this one but my respect for David grows. The guy is looking to improve. A racket change at this stage in his career is a huge thing. Especially a drastic one like he did, going to a much stiffer stick like Babolat, after years with Prince. Good luck to him.

Yes, I do not like him too much but I have to acknowledge that. I saw part of his match against Hewitt and other bits here and there and he does seem to be hitting a bit harder.

Average rally length prediction: 233.4 shots.

Muzz is playing well, if his head is in the game (hope his father in law is ok and the baby comes after the tournament ) then has a big chance to win his first AO
Muzz in four

I'm guessing the only way Ferrer wins is if Murray gets injured and retires.

As expected, Murray falters and gives the second set to Ferrer.

Unusually, Ferrer is playing quite aggressively today.
