[Graham C]

Yay for British tennis

[Longy]

Go Britain.

[Maxriddles]

Well done Andy Murray.

[DaveShoelace]

Woo, go England, Tiger Tim etc.

[Longy]

Playing Gilles Simon in the final, who just beat Nadal in the other semi. Gotta make Murray a clear fave for the final, in fact i am bit disappointed as i thought there was going to be some value in Murray against Nadal.

Simon just beat Nadal and that makes Murray favourite (err How???).

Simon has been playing fantastic tennis this week and if Murray beats him then it'll be a hell of a victory.

Simon has just had a three and a half hour match with Nadal - he'll be physically and emotionally drained, in exactly the same way as Murray was against Federer in the US Open final after a similarly draining semi-final against Nadal.

Lol no offence Flea but this is like the schoolboy arguement that if Man U draw against Newcastle and Hull beat Newcastle, then Wigan beat Hull 5-0. Wigan should beat Man U, 11 millon-0.

Simon beat an off form Nadal, this is Nadal's weakest surface. This is Murray's best surface, he is ranked higher in the world than Simon, he has just beat Federer in a lot less gruelling game played earlier in the day.

Current betfair odds:

Murray 1.33
Simon   3.9

Pretty clear fave imo.

i`m going monkey on simon.

No offence taken but what I meant was Simon is the in-form guy and has played the best tennis of his life on a surface that suits him (wasn't surprised he beat Nadal) and likewise whilst Murray is playing well I think he'll have to go some to beat Simon.

I actually think the value bet would be Simon to beat Murray (rather than the Murray to beat Nadal that you were anticipating) - I hope I'm wrong obviously but I still think Simon will win.

And in response to AndrewT, didn't Federer have an extra day before the US Open final as Murrays match was delayed (so a much bigger advantage than Murrays extra 4 hours this time).

Serious question.

What price will you give me on Murray ?

[Flea]

Worse than the bookies - I'm voicing an opinion not putting money on it (unless I can get daft odds).

I want Murray to win just my head is saying Simon will just pip him (heads often wrong though).

(heads often wrong though).

Head is NEVER wrong !!!
