    Could be a good final. I thought Roanic looked good against the Fed, he has a lot more than just a big serve. I think temperament and nerve will play a big part.

    Sorry to sound like Bengals, but who is Roanic?


    On the final, Murray should win. He's just at a higher level than players like Berdych and Raonic.

    I hope Raonic gives him a good fight though and at the least makes it a five setter.

    Hence the 'sorry to sound like a ****/Bengals' warning.

    Just who is this Roanic?

    In the final, Murray should win. Obviously. He's just at a higher level than players like Berdych and Raonic.

    I hope Raonic gives him a good fight though, and at the least makes it a five-setter.

    But Roger is still the greatest player in the entire history of the whole wide world. Ever. And they'll be making a movie about him. My friend Walter likes him too. Walter is ace, as well.

    Look, he's learnt to copy and paste now.

    Good progress Bengals. Keep it up, proud of you.

    Murray beat Roanic fairly comfortably a few weeks ago in the Queens final. Can't see anything other than a similar scenario on Sunday.

    The most interesting thing in this match has been that Beyonce and Jay-Z (musicians all the kids are down with) are sat with the Williams family.

    Thank you. You can't beat a good number 2. One of life's greatest pleasures, if you have no life.

    For the outcome today you only need to imagine Murray walking out for the final and not seeing Djokovic next to him again. If I could trust him I would back him to win in straight sets today, other than that he's one of the safer bets of the year to win sporting wise. Expecting it to all go tits up for him now after I wrote that

    He is unfortunate to be on the tail end of the Federer era and the same era as Djokovic, then there are other fellas around too who occasionally step up not to mention Nadal who has slipped off the radar due to injury. Making the French Open final established him as a great of the game for me

    Murray should win, but not writing Raonic off. Good player.
