Up to now, Murray has played against Fabrice Santoro, the second oldest man in the draw; Xavier Malisse, who has only once been past the fourth round in a Grand Slam and is also past his best; Tommy Haas, who is not a bad player, but he should beat anyway; and Gasquet who bottled it. It's an achievement to get where he is, but his inconsistency will let him down against Nadal, I'm sure of it.

Four sets at best.

How would that work, 'bog' isn't another word for a bit of raised land.

Yes, but he's shit.

Even I enjoyed that match, it was the first time i've actually enjoyed watching Andy Murray - not because he won a close match, but because I've never seen him show committment and grit and heart like that before. He's always been a bit of a whiney excuse making bottler in my opinion - if those days are over, good luck to him indeed. He'll need it against Nadal. And I deeply enjoyed him showing off his new biceps at the end of the game, that was great!

But didn't Nadal injure himself in his last match? That might be significant...........

I agree Yudster, on all counts (I wasn't too taken with the biceps, but on all other counts.)

As for the injury, well, I hope it's not significant (my overriding loyalty is with Nadal because I want to be right about him winning the tournament and also he is the most entertaining player to watch in terms of his tennis.) If Rafa is fit, I expect him to overcome Murray with little difficulty.

Bogdanovic's Bump?

Yeah he isn't the best player, he's a talented player but in true British format, he wastes it.

In international terms, he's not very talented. Bogdanovic's bump sounds like he's pregnant.

My tip for the semis:

Women - Jie Zheng v Serena Williams; Elena Dementieva v Venus Williams. The Williams sisters are far too powerful to be beaten by any of the other women.
Men - Roger Federer v Marat Safin; Arnaud Clement v Rafael Nadal. Quite simply, the winner of the Murray / Nadal match (which I still think, barring that injury, Nadal should have little trouble coming through) is going through to the final.

I hope its not a William's sisters final as that was a farce last time.

As for the mens, Safin vs. Murray is my tip

A Safin / Murray final? You think he'll beat Federer?!

An all-Williams final is almost inevitable.

I wonder whose turn it is to win this time? They should tell us first, save having to actually play the game.

Yeah i think Safin can beat Federer. It'll be a close game, but i think Safin will pull through it.

Venus is the more likeable of the two, but yes, I agree that if no one knocks either out (and no one will), obviously it'll be a gifted title for one of them. My bet is Serena, as Venus won last year.

Again, I think you're living in a dream world.

Well, he also said that he thought Hewitt would beat Federer, so there you go.

Surely a Federer/Nadal final is inevitable?..I will be so impressed if Murray makes it to the final.

I think that if Nadal's injury is significant there could be an upset - but only if. And Murray has beaten Federer twice before don't forget....ok, not on grass, but still!

I tell you what, Murray certainly has got a proper good set of guns on him. Standing there in the middle of the court last night, having come back from 2 sets down to win, pointing at his biceps.... very Cantona-esque.

Tis a shame he's got go meet Nadal next.... I reckon he'd have more chance against Federer, but there you go.. it's the luck of the draw.
