AberdeenBud Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Rog beat Seppi in straight sets to win Halle again. He must be pushing double figures there now. He fancies one last Slam and Wimbledon is probably his best bet, but just can't see him getting past Andy and Djockovic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elixir Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Murray has played some delightful stuff at this tournament. His serving had been pretty impressive too in recent matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fotbawmad Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 It was hard to see where the threats were to Murray earlier in week. Surely he's the favourite coming into Wimbledon. I can't anyone outside of Novak beating him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
booitsme7 Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Brilliant tennis from Murray to win a record equalling fourth title at Queens and also Roger Federer who claims a record eighth title at Gerry Weber Open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamonds are Forever Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Federer looked good this week (although he did face a match point in the first round) and is coming forward a lot, I think over 5 sets Murray would cope with that style of tennis though. I'd have Murray and Djokovic as joint favourites, but if I had to bet on a winner I'd say Murray. When he's lost to Djokovic it's really been his serve and forehand that's let him down, but on the grass both of those shots get some extra zip, so unless he has a pretty horrendous day they wont be an issue. His crosscourt backhand is also incredible on grass, when it skids low off the surface it's almost unreturnable. He was excellent today, wouldn't say my opinion has changed much over the week though in terms of how he'll do at Wimbledon. Unless he throws in a shocker it should be between him and Djokovic, which I'd have as 50/50, maybe 60/40 in Murray's favour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 I thought Murray was excellent throughout the week. A bit timid in the first couple of rounds, but didn't really seem comfortable moving in the Under Armour trainers. He has worn Adidas Barricades his whole career. The way he dealt with the aggressive play from Muller and how he dealt with Anderson's serve, shows that he is the best returner of first serves on tour. Murray was serving at 80% first serves in at some points in games, and with the low bounce and extra zip off the grass Novak would really struggle to return those. I think he is still capable of a brain fart or two on serve, but his return game gets him out of trouble. His movement is slicker, he switches to a one handed forehand to generate more spin going cross court, his ball toss is greatly improved, his serve is getting better every week. He is looking good for Wimbledon. Would still have Novak as favourite though. Murray deals with low balls more, and Bjorkman has been working with him specifically taking lower balls and hitting winners. The grass seems to be a tad quicker this year, it could make for a very interesting Wimbledon if people get big servers in the earlier rounds where the grass is still very quick. The second week should see less grass on the surface and see it play slower. The draw on Friday will be very interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elixir Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Aye, I thought Andy had changed his shoes. Under Armour's t-shirts and shorts are quite decent but I'm not keen on their trainers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elixir Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Do we reckon Andy will be 2nd seed for Wimbledon or will it be Roger ? I don't think it will matter because I reckon they'll stick the two of them in the same half of the draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widge Posted June 21, 2015 Author Share Posted June 21, 2015 It'll be Federer at 2. But it really doesn't matter in the end. The winner of Wimbledon will be decided in the Murray vs Djokovic match whether that's a semi or a final. Obviously the spectacle would be better on finals day. I'd have Murray as favourite. He's got good grass court match play under his belt, he's playing the best he ever has and I'll never understand why Djokovic doesn't play a tournament. I just think the way the courts and surface play suit Murray better. If that was the only surface ever used, Murray would probably be number 1, indeed the extended grass season will benefit him.
