Just schooled Andy Murray today in the QF of the Australian open. It was really fun. Does anyone think he can beat Nadal in the SF and go on to win his 18th Major?

I hope so. He deserves it.
He should have finished Murray in 3 sets but got a little tight serving it out. That extra playing time may affect him. Nadal has had a fairly easy route to the semis by comparison.

I always feel when players coast through to the semi's unchallenged it hurts them when they are finally in a competitive match.
I think if Federer beats Nadal and wins this title there can be no argument against his GOAT status.
PS. I hate that sulky scottish ****.

It's an advantage especially these days with Federer's age and the way Nadal plays.

Murray was dropping sets to no-marks, the Federer result doesn't surprise me.
Federer destroyed Tsonga though, which I wasn't expecting.
If Federer gets through Nadal it will be a marathon match, so I'm gonna stick my neck out and say he'll lose in the final to Berdych/Wawrinka if he makes it. Nadal would probably beat either in 3.

Originally posted by robust_ View PostMissed the match (it started way past midnight).
Saw some of Nadal's match, his hand may be a big problem against Roger. Also, it didn't seem like Nadal has an easy match at all. That said, Nadal is going to take out Federer to the shed.
Yea Nadals hand looks nasty but he's Federer's bogyman. I've never seen Federer miss-hit so many balls when he is playing Nadal.

Wawrinka is currently at 5/1 to win it all. I might stick 10 on it.Last edited by Adamjr91; 01-22-2014, 12:12 PM.
