Andy Murrary

I really think if he gets past Berdych, he'll win the final too.

Getting himself up for beating Berdych when he was expecting Federer is a worry, though Lendl seems to have really sorted the psychological side out. I backed Murray at 7/2 after he thrashed Raonic, so I hope he keeps it up!

It shouldn't be, he's lost recently more times against Berdych than won. My worry would be that he does't look quite right, his start last night and. The match the other day he was not at his best. Having said that i thought he'd struggle against Raonic, but that was a breeze.

On top form, i'd expect a Murray win and hopefully in 4 sets max to preserve some energy for the final.

he'll be back on the slower and bigger court of arthur ashe now which he loves and played brilliant on. his worse 2 matches were on the slower armstrong. also it doesn't look like it'll be too hot which is good. and the berdych h2h a bit misleading with the clay meetings. murray won their only hard court match of the last 6 years in straight sets.

he's had the perfect preparation tbh getting tested but not using too much energy and 2 days off now

Good appraisal, I agree.

He will win his first Major this weekend i think

I hope so, but it's not going to be easy. A great chance though.

are they both slower than each other?

What time is this match (UK wise)

He's first up at 4, followed by the other semi. It's "super-saturday" - TV rules this one, the US want both semis on the Sat, then the final on a the Sun. Not the best scenario for the players, if one has a long 5 set semi, and the other an easy straight set win, the final is a bit skewed. At Wimbles, they should both get a days' rest after the semi.

Cheers, will miss the start however I think a Chinese take-away could be in order tonight

Me too. A spot of golf in this fine sun (looks like it will stop on Mon), followed by a home delivery from Oriental Village. Sweet.

An absolutely daft way of doing it. Works in his favour, this time, should he progress. He certainly struggled in his previous US final.

Sure I heard somewhere that as from next year there will be a days break between the semi finals and final.

 

[mike79]

are they both slower than each other?

ha meant faster armstrong

sadly the way djokovic played against del potro, i don't know how murray beats him

hopefully ferrer gives him a tough match today and wears him down

Quite right too.u

 

[mike79]

forecast not great today

looks like thunderstorms around 5 for a bit and then more in the night session

hopefully they get both men's semis done so no monday final

Unbelievable conditions

The wind is clearly a problem but Berdych dealt with it much better in the first set and deservedly won it. Second set is a totally different story, Murray now attacking and a break up.

Amazing the contrast in Murray, when he isn't feeling too good and he's blocking back he looks very ordinary but when he's feeling good and attacking all over the place he looks like a player who should win major tournaments consistently.
