@adamz1111 well murray has admitted himself that hes below those 3 . He will have to play his absolute best to beat Rafa 2morrow . I like them both , so just hope its a good match !!!!

@timgirl100 a while back. Rafas changed. Murray is just a well balanced player who has no 'secret' weapons. That's why hes #4. he's a good player but when it comes to him playing Federer, Djokovic, Nadal, he hardly stands a chance.

@adamz1111  ummmm murray has beaten Rafa before in a slam , not saying he will 2morrow, but he has done it

Federer vs Roddick would've been an awesome final. It's definately going to be Nadal vs Fed or Nole, because Murray couldn't beat Nadal for his life.
