#1 Posted: 11/22/2010 10:25:02 PM Am going with Murray +118 tomorrow... just think he is the better hard court player at this stage of their respective careers.
Murray looked good against Soderling and has the hometown crowd to support him here.
Federer has been solid recently...but its hard to argue with the 8-5 head to head advatage for Murray.

Not saying it won't be tough but I'll be betting on Feds, can't go against him on the big stage.

#3 Posted: 11/22/2010 11:44:49 PM Murray beat him the past two times in Masters Series finals....sorry but those matches were more important that a round-robin match here.
Both players I suspect bring their A games... both players dislike each other and I expect a solid match.
Federer can certainly win and might...but I look at this match as 50-50 at worst... and at +odds I will gladly roll the dice |

Fed has been dominant but if you isolate it down to just the top players he has met since the USO he has struggled some. The crowd will be against him same as it was with Monfils and Murray showed dynamite form vs Soderling while Fed looked a bit shaky at the end of the second set vs Ferrer, reminding of the demons of inconsistency that have haunted him to no end this year.
Medium strength play.

Fed is the better player even now IMO but given recent form from both that scoreline would be the shock of the tournament to me.

I just pray he plays this well vs Soderling.

#20 Posted: 11/23/2010 12:12:48 PM Murray gave up a pretty early break in the first set (his second service). Other than that he played "ok" in the first set.
He was done by the second game in the second set. |

Fed played fine, very clean game, nothing amazing, Murray moved pretty well, but he just couldn't keep the ball in play in general and just couldn't do anything with Feds serve. It was very one sided the whole time.
