Murray not guaranteed final at all. Cilic can play great tennis. Still up'n'coming young guy. A bit less experienced than some of the other young guys, but has been stepping it up big time the last 6 months. Talented.
Cilic has played 3 5 setters and atleast one four setter. Murray has not even dropped a set (IIRC). Also Cilic in my opinion has scraped through all his 3 five setters and would of lost to Roddick had it not been for his injury. Murray should win in 3-4 provided there is no sudden change in form. Although Cilic is dangerous given everything he has gone through, the fact it is a GS SF and he is playing an inform player I think it is fair to say Murray has it all wrapped up.

Federer was outstanding in the last two and a half sets, just needs to maintain that consistency. Forehand was really on fire at times and his serve was at times at its best.
 
Yea, the stamina thing could come into it, but it's not a given at all. Last Aussie Open a lot of people said that Nadal couldn't come off the Verdasco game to win the final. He did. They get a day off between games and they are young extremely fit guys. They can usually handle it enough to still come out guns blazing at least for a fair amount of the match.
 
Cilic is a talent. Cleaned up Murray in three sets at the last major. Murray obviously had a wrist injury (watching too much womens tennis???) but, Cilic was awesome.
 
What the heck is up with Davydenko?????? Biggest choker in the majors. Can't even use inexperience as an excuse. Federer obviously awesome though. Murray vs Federer final obviously would be the best. Murray with a winning record against Fed, but Federer beat him in the US Open final. Huge.
 
I hope Nadal stays fit actually - I reckon the Murray vs Nadal could become a constant epic in the next few years, like the Fed vs Nadal has been.
 
And I find it amazing that Nadal has won 6 slams even without a decent serve!!!

One of my favourite moment of recent tennis - Youzhny being psycho and smashing himself in the head and making his head bleed:

 
He's a scary man.
 
Haha. I just watched it again and lol'd at the replay.

Awesome! Tennis ball kills bird during match:

 
If there's a bird flying through Murray's match, I reckon he's good enough to hit it off the bird for a winner.

R-Fed destroys Tsonga in three sets. Then has a go at Murray and the Brits in his post match interview, what a legend.

Greatest of all time? I think so.

Interviewer: "So what's your secret? Do you train in the off season?"

R-Fed: "Nah i just sit on the couch"


R-Fed on Murray and British tennis: "How long's it been since Britain had a Grand Slam winner? About 150,000 years"


Basically, R-Fed

Gaaaawn!!!

No, she isn't an ordinary unseeded player - but my point remains. Womens tennis has no depth.

I mean, two players in the top five can barely serve, and two recent number ones can now rarely get past players in the top 20.

Henin and Clijsters comeback after a year or two off and will be straight back into the top five - and good luck to them. Just sayin it's a bit sh!t.

And Hingis is still the hottest
