Swarley Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Aye, he didn't look best pleased. Absolutely right not to be; he had Nadal today. The fact he retired before he was beaten outright takes some of the shine off it, and no doubt the injury will be used by some to avoid giving Murray the credit he deserves for a terrific performance. Indeed, the record books will always show "ret" against the result rather than the crushing victory that it was heading toward. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyline Drifter Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 I'm not so sure. I actually fancy Djokovic to beat Federer if they meet in the semi, and win the whole thing. Djokovic has been in poor form for an age. He wouldn't have gotten this far if he hadn't had an even easier draw than Murray. No surprise to see him blow up yet again today. Federer will wipe the floor with Tsonga. So Murray has to go through Cilic and then almost certainly Federer to win. To be honest I'd much rather he met Federer in the final anyway. The weight of expectation if he faced someone other than Federer would be enormous and you may as well take out the big names yourself on the way if you are going to win. Must be wary of Cilic though. He's no mug. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozam76 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Must be wary of Cilic though. He's no mug. He certainly isn't. He's just broken Murray in the first set to go 3-2 up, and he's giving Murray a bit of a run around. If this boy Cilic is knackered, I'd hate to see him on full throttle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozam76 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Cilic breaks Murray again (to love) to take the first set 6-3. First set Murray has lost in the tournament, it'll be interesting to see how he reacts. There's only one player in it just now though. Cilic is in complete control. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cj20 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Cilic has just won the first set, 6-3. Possibly another US Open on our hands here, where Cilic absolutely murdered Murray in straight sets. Murray must take his early oppertunities in the second, otherwise Cilic will grow in confidence and easily take the game to him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozam76 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 What a fucking break point from Murray there!!!!! He leads 3-2 in the 2nd set. Awesome! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cj20 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 That's more like it. Unbelieveable shot to break in the second. He needs to capitalise on this now and not allow Cilic back into the set if he can. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozam76 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Early break in the 3rd set for Murray - he leads 2-1. He's picked it right up, whilst it looks like Cilic is starting to tire. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
