Absolutely nothing wrong with not wanting someone to win. People form allegiances with sports teams and players all the time, and you often end up hating the rivals of teams/players you like. Perfectly normal.

Tsonga about to get steam rolled I feel. D:
I'm sure I said Williams and not Sharapova or Lisicki?!?

I don't think it just comes down to thier playing style, I really like Djoker but hate Murray. I agree with MIMIC on his points.
No one is arguing he doesn't deserve it if he won, of course he would have earned it, just don't want him to.
So if I don't like Murray, I have to WANT him to win it, otherwise I am bitter? Wow...what a predicament I am in.
IF Murray wins it, then he deserves it. But until then, I hope he wins nothing.

Yeah it's amazing how many balls he chases down.
Edit - I do get why some people might not like watching him play. But yeah, movement is boss.
Terribly confusing when it seems largely one-way, though! The only 'hate' I've really seen Murray fans direct at Nadal, Fed or Djokovic is sheer exasperation at how good they are!
While I don't particularly agree with the base sentiment, he's saying that it'd be okay if you were rooting against Murray *because* you wanted Tsonga to win, not because you didn't want Murray to win.
Djoker and Murray tend to get along pretty well actually.

what annoys me is how people assume he's worse than he actually is. He's 4th in the world for god's sake!

Murray has played very smartly. He is just coasting along for now and knows that unless Tsonga starts to attack he will get through this match unscathed as long as he keeps serving well.
Tsonga needs to do something here. Very quiet, lacking the inspiration he needs to really perform.

I'm no Murray fan either, but then I don't really like Djoker either, he's the same bloody player as Murray with a bit of added aggression. Definitely less of a drama queen though which I do like.
Says who? If I don't like you then I don't like you. It's not like I'm discrediting him for his current success or something.

I agree he is a very similar player but Novak's groundstrokes whilst repetitive and tiring are more impressive. He really rips them of both sides and for me at least it's exciting just to see that.
Sure he is no Federer but I think he is definitely better to watch than Murray.
Plus his character and charisma on the court helps too. You can sense him battling and fighting. Murray is tame in comparison.
I am a Murray fan btw.

This is so not true but well...
I'm just soo happy federer made the finals. I wouldnt even be that mad if he loses since it would be to tsonga who i like a lot and murray who i think deserves one anyway. But it would be one wasted opportunity.
I wonder how his chances at number one would be if he loses. Very good i imagine.

damn close there (
Even if he loses, I think he's done enough to prove that there's another slam victory in him yet.

correct about everything
tsonga's won 13% of second serve points lol

Murray and Novak are nothing alike, their play styles are vastly different.
They both have good ground strokes, that's about it.

Alright. So. Federer vs Murray final. Come on Fed, don't think about pressures, just think about your last two finals against him.
Late to the party I know but... LOL at people writing out Fed for the semi... never count the GOAT out. Some here have already forgotten what happened last year at RG :lol
Still hoping Tsonga can make it out of that match, but it doesn't bode well. Can't watch the match for now...

Murray was nervous as fuck in the USO and AO twice. Do you think he will do better on his homecourt with pressure so high like never before against a guy who practicaly lives on the wimby center court?
I seriously doubt it. But as you said you never know.
That's a good point. I'm just trying to keep my expectations reasonable.

he did it against federer =/
It's going to be an interesting final, nonetheless. Murray doesn't lead the H2H by coincidence. But it has always been about Murray's opponent (Fed and Djokovic, thus far) seizing the moment....because it's a slam final, where you leave it all on the court.
Fed has played well in the past and Murray has STILL been able to confound him. He's like a lesser version of Nadal (with NONE of the topspin). The match-up issue is always there, but Fed's experience has allowed him to be 6-0 in sets against Murray when they reach the final. Murray's performance in his 4th slam final will either be the product of valuable experience (after failing miserably) or, laughably, more of the same.

If they both play like they have today (so far) then it's also over before it even starts.
