Who's Going To Win Wimbledon?

[Cloverjo]

If the great Federer plays as he did today against Andy Murray I think he'll win.
Poor Andy. He didn't do a lot wrong, but Fed was incredible.

sob ..sob.....

[ladybirder]

i don't really care which one wins, I love them both. Very slight bias towards Novak but may the best man on the day win.

[murraymints]

Federer in 4

His display today against Murray was masterly.

[marval]

Not sure who will win, it should be a good match though.

[Cloverjo]

Even though he beat Murray, it was good to see Federer still playing so well. So many times, my OH has said he should retire when he's had poor results, and I've disagreed because he is still capable of being amazing. I really hope he beats Novak on Sunday.

[mastercraft]

I think Federer is looking unstoppable at the moment.
It may go to 5 sets, but he is determined to win... which I suspect he will.

[anneasquith]

murray played well today Federer was fantastic. Federer to win.,

[PankySmooch]

Will be a great final and I hope Federer wins, he played excellent today despite Murray grunting with every shot towards the end of the match

I wonder who I once recall saying loud and clear, " I don't care who wins the World Cup (Football) as long as it isn't England".
Usual attempt at a damage limitation exercise after but mud sticks. Clearly one of a minority from Scotland who does display his anti-English stance as also shown at the last hours of the Scottish Referendum vote.
Never any sobs from me to see a Murray defeat. Sorry Ladies.

Murray's first serve % about as high as he could have hoped for, very few errors, plenty of winners, some unbelievable defence and great play. And he still lost pretty convincingly.

What saddens me, although I'm not too surprised, is how many people take the opportunity to do Murray down. Which is ultimately self-defeating, because it makes Federer look far less impressive than he actually was. There is not all that much skill in defeating a fairly average player such as, say, both Federer and Murray were doing last week (well, there is, but it's what these guys would expect to do). But in making a seriously good player look ordinary -- that is something that Federer managed today. He played so well that the third best player in the world couldn't come even close to winning. Describing Murray as average, as some have done, only drags Federer's display down with him.

Looking forward to the final, anyway. I do hope Federer wins, although I no longer expect this to be his "last chance" the way so many did last year. At Wimbledon, at least, he will clearly have a great chance every time he shows up.

Incidentally, Murray could turn out to enjoy throwing marbles really hard at small children for all I care and I'd still enjoy him as a tennis player. The best one this country has produced certainly since Fred Perry. So he doesn't like the England football team. Wow, get over it already.

[PankySmooch]

retrocop, he actually said when asked by a reporter trying to wind him up because Scotland wasn't in it "Will you be supporting Scotland?".... to which he replied "Anyone but England"

Fair play to him, it was banter, it's what most jocks would say and it was blown out of proportion

[retrocop]

Never mind.As you pretty much confirmed. A damage limitation exercise after he let his mouth run away. :-)

[Quizmonster]

Let's not lose sight of the fact that Murray's a manifestly better player than Tiger Tim, the best England could produce since Fred Perry!

[Ken4155]

Had to laugh at an item on The Last Leg on Channel 4, last night. Someone had tweeted, "Is it ok that Scotland's Andy Murray is out of Wimbledon but Great Britain's Jamie Murray is through to the doubles final?"

[Cloverjo]

Retrocop, does that tired old line about "anyone but England" need to be brought up again? He was 18 at the time, it was a half-hearted attempt as a joke about the supposed age-old rivalry between England and Scotland. To say he is anti-English is ridiculous. He lives in England, his wife, best friends and most of his coaching team are English. I think I read that one set of grandparents are English.

... A damage limitation exercise after he let his mouth run away...

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone?

[Sqad]

Murray is a very , very good player....NOT world class nor one of the greats and was "blown away by Federer. Murray needs to work on his first serves as not enough are going in or are winners.

Djokovic is a different class to Murray, especially in the big matches.

I forecast a 5 setter with Novak to win. Two great players.
