Rafa into the final after embarassing Murray once again. Disappointed Rafa let the knob take a set off him, would of been much better to see the whiny bitch go out in srraight sets.

What a dumb post. You might not like Murray, but if you think he can't play then you just know nothing about tennis. Being embarrased in tennis is losing 1-1-1, not in 4 sets! By your standard anyone who loses any match is being humiliated.

Anyway, in the final I think Djokovic should be good enough to shade Nadal. The faster surface should suit Djokovic a little better than Nadal and Djokovic has been playing the most unreal tennis all year. If he wins this it'll be near on the best year of tennis in history, with 2 months left!

Never said he cant play but he will never win a major, the fact is he struggles to win a set off the top 3 and he makes way to many unforced errors. I watched the game a Rafa did it fairly easy and was only briefly challenged.
Agree with you about Djokovic, i feel he will win on the quick surface but im hoping the match last night took a lot out of him. Very similar to last year where Djokovic played a tough semi against Federer and Nadal had a far easier match, djokovic ran out of steam in the final so will be interesting to see how it goes. Come on Rafa!!

He is clearly the 4th best in the world, to say he will never win a major is folly. He might not end up with one, but Djokovic, Nadal and Federer won't win them all! Eventually someone will take one off them and Murray is currently the most logical. Plus he's probably got a couple years at the end of his career that those 3 don't. He wouldn't be the fist player to make unforced errors too often then suddenly you find those shots start going in. And apparently he doesn't struggle to get a set off Nadal, he just took one!

I don't think Nadal is quite the superior athlete these days. Injury and age are catching up and eroding his ability to run a marathon each day. Plus Djokovic is far better conditioned now and mentally much, much tougher than 12 months ago.

As much as i want Rafa to win i can see Djokovic winning in 4.
Rafa hasnt beaten Djokovic in last 5 finals and definately in far better physical condition than Rafa but as Federer showed last night he can be beaten. The First semi last night was awesome and Federer rolled back the years. Nadal will have to be at his all time best to get up

Well Grahaml seeing as they have to not win one eventually lets just give them to Murray. Murray is way off Fed, Nadal and Djok and its proven at most grand slmas. If you want even more proof just look at his grand slam finals he's a dud. three straight sets final losses and I reckon he's only won one set in a grand slam final. I agree with Jim he's a whnny bitch and I love seeing him lose. He had his chance aganist a physically worn Nadal and still managed only one set and was taught a lesson in the other 3.

Stosur to meet Serena Williams in final, should be a beauty.

Stosur first set 6-2. PLaying smart taking pace off the serve and kicking and hitting her forehand just as hard as Williams as she snot used to it.

haha yeh, if only I had a crystal ball at the time. Couldnt believe she was paying so highly her forehand on the faster grand slam court was worth a bet.
