There would be two upsets in the air, him and me!  ;)

Feds got a 6ft 10in Croatian to get rid off and Murrays got an ex French open champion, Juan Carlos Ferrero to knock off today!


Ps, Braveheart, in my paper today , 5 full pages devoted solely to Murray and every news bulletin on GMTV this morning featured Murrays match today. Not one mentioned Federer, it's as if he's not there ! :D

Should be a great final if they both manage to get there. My money is on Murray to make it 7-1 against Fed.

Small matter of the semis first though.

Cant see either Murray or Fed failing to get through to the finals and then my money is on the Swiss to win yet another grand slam. It's what he does better than the Scot.

There's always a shift in power at some stage Jukey and this is the time I think.

He is a true champ and I cant see him letting this chance pass him by. There's so much at stake.

On the womens side, I think it could be more wide open but I think the most likely outcome could be a final between the Williams sisters with possibly the reigning champ Venus edging out little sis Serena.



Surprise Surprise the Williams sisters are both in the final Again!!

give someone else a chance ladies ! lol

Hard luck Murray but what a performance by Andy Roddick!

Also, well done to the Fed, still on cruise control and swatting aside Tommy Haas.

Maybe now the press and journalists will actually have to acknowledge that there is a player at Wimbledon called Roger Federer and he is in the final. !

Very disappointing but I doubt he'd have beaten Federer in the final. Maybe next year [:o]
