Mid Life Crisis Man Wrote:As for Andy Murray, I say good on him for getting as far as he has in the rankings, but there's no way he's going to beat Federer. Federer's way too cool to be beaten by a Scot.
MLCM has spoken.
As ever your words reverberate with sense and wisdom. However ...
Murray has downed the White Baron on several occasion in recent times. OK, not in a slam, and not for that matter on grass ... but Murray has that most un-British trait in spades: massive self-belief. It might just win him the day.
But first Roddick. Muzzah is 6 from 8 against the American serve-pounder and will expect to beat him, albeit after a struggle. McEnroe says Ferrero-Rocher was 'set up for Murray' - as in played the way Murray prefers his opponents - weak serve, unremarkable pace on the ground strokes. One must remember that Mac has championed A-Rod for the last ten years so there's a bit of kidology there. It was still a pretty damning demolition (by Murray) of a former World No.1 yesterday. Roddick barely got up against a Hewitt playing for the most part on one and a half good ankles.
I like Murray; there, I've said it 'out loud'.
He's petulant, cocky and driven. Rather like that wild-haired New Yorker who caused such a ruccus in the '80's. Yes, I am serious.
