Murray v Roddick

stevemcqueen · Futures qualifying

Our Andy made 27 unforced errors against Soderling, and lost his serve several times - he'll have to raise his game against Roddick! Still, reaching the semis is a good performance, he can be pleased and his ranking will move up a few places. He can go into the match against Roddick with no pressure...

Yeah, no doubt that he's going to have to raise his level. One of Murray's strengths is that he doesn't make too many errors, if he justs gets the ball in play time and time again, he could really frustrate Roddick.

If he plays like yesterday, 64 64 to Roddick. If he ups his game to his best, I think he'll take him to a third set, I'm not sure if hes ready to be beat him yet

Agree with you both........my heart says a close 3 set affair with Murray winning but he has no chance if his unforced errors go into double figures...but it is all relative...if Andys errors total 20 and Roddick plays like a donkey and hits 40 errors then Andy could win.

So its down to 2 things........How both Andys play !

Eurosport 2 seem to be putting highlights of the semis on Sunday at 3:45pm CET. Hopefully that will be highlights from Andy`s match if Hewitt is the match they show tonight.

I reckon Andy (M) will lose in three, and I think if he does he should be pleased with the result, of course my heart wants him to win in three.

I'm going to set my alarm and maybe get up for it, will anyone else be around?

By the way, I love the new trend in poll options, makes it more interesting to vote

If it`s not on the tv I`ll be following it here.

I will set the alarm, but I'm not giving any guarantees that I will get up!

I wish the computer was in the bedroom. If I go downstairs the cat will be constantly pestering me to let her out, and we don't let her out overnight.

If my wife stays away tonight then I'll be up tracking the game !

(Shes away with her Mum...!)

I'll try and stay awake for his match or well, wake up for his match. But, I have a bad feeling about it. I would love for Murray to take it to 3 sets. As long as he produces a good performance or at least a good showing of himself, it will be a start.
