Yea, I hate Murray. Though, going into Wimbledon, all four have a relatively equal shot at winning

There is no way Murray has an equal chance of winning Wimbledon, he has a history of bottling it. He's rightfully 8.2 versus around 4 for the other three.

I reckon Djo will take it.

A least he's better than Tim Henman.

For a start, Murray's odds are around $6.50. I think all the top 4 have a reasonable chance in Wimbledon. Actually, Djokovic maybe less chance than the others in my eyes, as he doesn't usually go too well on grass. Murray fans hoping to play Djokovic in the semi-finals, rather than Nadal. Nadal is rightly favourite for the tournament.

Grass has never really been Murray's favorite surface, but his massive improvement on clay this year gives some hope that he might be improving on surfaces other than hard courts. The way he played to demolish Roddick the other day was very impressive, even though it is just a warm-up tournament.

I don't know what you mean by Murray having a supposed history of "bottling it". Please point out when.

It usually occurs on the second Thursday of every Major tournament.

Three for me, and two for them.

Murray vs Gasquet at midnight tonight. Interesting match. Gasquet has been looking pretty good this year. In their previous two grand slam matches against each other, Murray has come back from two sets behind to win. One I'm sure the anti-Murray brigade will be keen to keep an eye on!Colvinator2011-06-27 18:02:40

As do I, but I'm not sure it'll happen. Though Murray has the highest chance of losing of top 4

So hot today here in London, supposed to tip 32 with no breeze to speak of. Playing tennis in this heat must be ridiculous.

Murray ripped him to shreds. Murray hit 43 winners, with only 9 unforced errors, which was impressive. He's basically through to the semi-finals now where he'll meet Nadal, if Nadal can overcome a couple of tricky matches ahead.

32nd seed Pironkova was picked by some before the tournament started as a dark horse to win. Could be a good chance now...
