Re: Wimbledon 2012Murray could play the greatest tournament of his career and the odds are the Novak/Rafa, and to a lesser extent, Fed would still win the tournament.(Original post by TopHat)
If he can miraculously improve his first serve and simultaneously keep the aggressiveness he had from the Australian Open this year, then yes. The more likely answer: no.
Those guys just know how to get to the latter stages of tournaments and turn good performances into wins. Murray does not. -
No, I disagree for Federer at least. Put 2012 Australian Open-level Murray against current Federer and I reckon Murray would win. Nadal and Djokovic, true, but that's what luck is all about.(Original post by Straight up G)

EDIT: If Murray is making it, it'll be via Tsonga in the semis and then Federer in the final, imo.Last edited by TopHat; 26-06-2012 at 18:11. -
Re: Wimbledon 2012It's mostly mentally where Murray suffers. He lets the frustration get on top of him, causing him to make even more mistakes.(Original post by Straight up G)

Re: Wimbledon 2012If Federer gets to the final, it means he's beaten Djokovic, and I can't see him losing after that. Plus Murray hardly has a distinguished record in Grand Slam finals against Federer.(Original post by TopHat)

Probably. I also just don't see a champion when I watch him. I see a very good player but not a champion, he just doesn't have the air of the top three guys; he's not as clinical, as tactically clever or as effective really.(Original post by RyJ)

Re: Wimbledon 2012This is true, but Murray would be more likely to beat a Federer who just beat Djokovic than a Djokovic who just beat Federer, if you see what I mean. I was just saying Murray's most likely route.(Original post by Straight up G)

Re: Wimbledon 2012Do they rank it on Wimbledon performances?(Original post by Lamps08)
Andy roddick is No.25 in the world, yet is seeded 30... WTF? -
Re: Wimbledon 2012Yeh they do but considering Roddick's a 3 time runner up it's surprising that he's seeded 30th(Original post by Katie18!)
Do they rank it on Wimbledon performances?

Re: Wimbledon 2012IF Federer beat Djokovic, there's no way he'll lose to Murray; he would probably hang himslef in the changing rooms afterwards(Original post by TopHat)
This is true, but Murray would be more likely to beat a Federer who just beat Djokovic than a Djokovic who just beat Federer, if you see what I mean. I was just saying Murray's most likely route. -
Re: Wimbledon 2012Does this work?(Original post by Ape Gone Insane)
Has Federer faced Djokovic in the past? What has been the outcome in those times?
