I think he will, going by his past record against Tsonga (won last 4 meetings), but also not sure I like him that much.

Murray seems to change his coach every year, with no better results imo, to be frank i think he should just change his mother. That's where the problem lies.

Well done Murray.

If Murray wins Wimbledon, I can see his mother doing a "Terry" and picking up the trophy and cheque....Pushy Mother Syndrome.

Yeh, I will probably stick a fiver win on him seen as he has come this far. To be fair, he has played well.

I tried to back on the day of the quarter final, but the game had started as I walked into the bookies. :(

I think the bookmakers have done Murray a bit harsh. So he's playing the 6 time champion. 3 of those against Roddick and 2 against a young Nadal. Federer has played good this Wimbledon no doubt about it, but not as good as before. Djokovic played a bit poor for me. Barring Djokovic, Federer has had an easier run on paper to the final. I think it will be interesting how Federer handles the crowd. Most of his matches the crowd have been in his favour but this is the opposite. Only one has Murray used the crowd to help him win a match. If he can do that this Sunday then I think that maiden Grand Slam maybe his.

Federer is 1/3......Murray is 7/4. I told my son who is in OZ (and likes a bet) to sample a little of Murray and William's oppnent 5/1 are good odds in a two horse race, especially a final. he stands to win 135 dollars to a 5 dollar stake...good luck to him and all concerned.

It was almost certain that Williams would win this game, however, I think Radwanska put up a brave fight, and at her age I think she maybe one to keep an eye on next year.

Although it pains me to say it, good luck Andy Murray, perhaps if he wins we might see him happy about it!

:wink:

Edit: had a few probs posting this as there seems to be some static around, flashes of lightening but no thunder! Wierd! So if it appears twice you have my apologies.

:mrgreen:
