Would you back against Federer?

murray is a horrible bet:

1) he's too short and no value

2) 2 players in the field cane him in grandslams

3) he's a prick

Well, I backed Murray at 6-1 and I think that's a great bet. Since Wimbledon last year he's the best player in the world - by far. Federer and Djokovic judging by their interviews are quite obviously worried about him. He also has a better draw than the others IMO.

As to whether he's a prick or not that doesn't affect his chances of winning.

my longish shot may meet Murray if they both win their next 3rd round game.
Verdasco was 80/1 at start in top 15 in world and in good form.

will see how Murray copes with the heat - time of play a big factor. night a lot cooler.

hmm, he trained in Spain from like 14-18, playing all day in boiling conditions so i think he should be ok.

I'm not anti Murray but being an ex-player have kept an eye on the new talent emerging.
I only saw bits of the game but felt Verdasco deserved the victory.
Whether he can win 3 more games and be the 2009 break through is another story.
Tsonga maybe, Nadal/Simon hmm, then Federer/Djokovic a tall ask but will take the 80/1 if he does.

yup, was a good shout on Verdasco by yourself at the start of the thread.

With Djoko out, it certainly looks like a Nadal v fed fnal now, so I am glad I didnt back against Fed !!!

He did have the toughest draw although he will be delighted to be facing Rodick instead of Djoko, although Roddick has played well this tourn so far.
