Good results for Andy today. First time he's beaten Berdych in seven years.

Another tough test against Djokovic to come but when you're reaching the latter stages of tournaments they're always going to be tough.

ps I haven't been on GC that much of late (today being an exception). Been too busy winding up the Rangers fans on the SPL board <ok>
 
I have a feeling Murray will win today and also that Del Potro will beat Federer, I just think those two will be more up for it. Not saying Novak and Fed won't care but the big 3 seem to save their best for grand slams these days so I think they're more susceptible against players like Murray and Del Potro in these smaller tournaments

Murray and Del Potro will still need to be at their best but I think they'll do it
 
Murray has a break in the first set and leads 5-2 at the moment

Murray 0-40 up in this game on Novak's serve, looking good
 
Murray wins in 2 sets, he had a bit of a wobble towards the end but the main thing is he won

So I was right about Murray, hopefully I can double up with Del Potro

It's my opinion that Murray's success in this and any other tournament is dependable on his serve being on form as this is what let him down in Australia. If you read the above link you will see that his serve was on form today - that is the difference for him, the difference between being one of the top players and being a winner right now. Murray can be unpredictable because his serve can be so. Maybe his new trainer (Ivan the terrible) can sort this out in time for the French Open.

Murray beat him last year but I think Novak retired hurt.

Aye you're right, Murray beat him in the final of Cincinnati when he retired

Murray's last 2 performances against Djokovic, the other day and in the Australian Open, have shown he can compete with Djokovic. Not sure if it's because Murray has improved or if Djokovic is on the decline a bit after such a good year last year, maybe a bit of both but either way it's good news for Murray
