I think that's about right, RN. Or straights, but I can't see Andy losing...

I'm picking the Berdman to win this in four. Before the match he looks in the mirror, tells himself he's sick of choking away his career, tells himself to grow a pair, goes out and wins one....

...then loses to Raonic in the final. :cover

Murray to go two sets to love up breaking Tomas in both sets, only to start playing like a passive c¥nt and give Berdych the third. But Berdych isn't serving well enough to really give Andy a run for his money, so most likely Andy in 4 with the fourt set being 6-1.

I tend to agree with the proposed result not sure I endorse the 'Passive see you next Tuesday' part....
In fact is that not a bit of an oxymoron?:huh:

Their H2H is 8-6 in Andy's favor. More importantly, Andy has won the last four matches between them. You have to go back all the way to 2013 to find the most recent Bird win. While I personally have not seen any of Bird's matches at Wimby this year, as we all know Bird was in serious crisis earlier this year. This is not the time or place that Bird can pull an upset.

Murray will lose concentration and fool around give a set to Bird somewhere along the way.

So, I vote for Andy in 4.

I said it well before it even got to the semis that Berdych is flying way under the radar this whole tournament. He may surprise, but probably won't. Either way, semis is a very good result considering he's mr. quarters most slams. He must be tired of losing meekly to the top players so hoping he decides it's time to shut up foul mouth Andy and his equally foul mouth wife and make them both cry on national tv. Would probably be the best news all year besides reading that Stepanek plans to play into his 40's and then coach Kyrgios. Time to kick things into 5th gear, Tomas. Teach Fang a lesson and make him rant and get agitated and tell the whole world to go f**k themselves 'cos he's such a nice chap.

Well, if you ask me, an 'aggressive see you next Tuesday' is more of an oxymoron if you look at it that way. ;)

Andy looks a lot more settled since he hooked up with his old mucka, Ivan. No confused hormones raging in the players box anymore, just granite and mortar, old fashioned bloke virtues. And didn't his missus go "Mirka" on Berdy a few years back, causing a knicker-twist on Twitter?

I expect and hope Murray wins. Berd is a more dangerous opponent for Fed if they both make the final.

Oddsmakers give about 90% chance for Andy and 10% chance for Bird.

That's fairly incredible odds. I'd give Berdy a better shot than 10%...
