I'm not going to sit on the fence now! I predict a Murray victory! Roddick seems to be have tournaments recently where he seems to bee gathering momentum in earlier rounds and then when the going gets tough he gets rattled and loses as soon as he's tested. Hopefully roddick faces his first test of San Jose at the hands of Murray! I predict a 7-6 6-4 win for murray. I know i'm very optimistic but Roddick just goes into meltdown lately! Either been a great tourny for murray!

The match isn't going to be shown on eurosport is it? If it isn't, I'll just wait till tomorrow to find out the results.

Roddick understands that this will be a toughish match so, unfortunately, I think that he will go out all guns blazing to try and beat Murray, making it very tough.

As far as I`m aware, they are covering the other semi on Eurosport 2. I looked on the tv schedule on the site but it doesn`t seem to cover the programme listing from midnight to 7am (ish).

so who knows?

Surely the BBC will have livescore for this ?

I hope so! But I`m not sure if I trust them to.

There is nothing on the website so I doubt it. Maybe if he got to the final . . . then they might even show highlights on TV like Bangkok. But then, that was Federer, world no 1, which might have influenced that decision.

They usually dont advertise...if they are to do it then just before their due on court the header will change to 'Live' blah blah etc....!

Not at that time in the morning - they don't have the staff around to put someone on livescore.

Eurosport 2 are showing a rerun of the Match in its ertirity at 11:15 am tomorrow our time.

The annoying thing is on the San Jose website they say that Eurosport 2 have the two semi-finals live. I might just check on the channel about 3am just in case - they did that with the Hingis/Sharapova match. It wasn't advertised on the TV guide yet they still put it on, but fingers crossed anyway.

I'm not sure how the match will go - part of me thinks that with Andy's returning game and wider variety of ground strokes he could cause Roddick serious problems but then another (probably the realistic part sadly) thinks that with Andy's serve still not firing 100% and his game being a wee bit more erratic than usual then Roddick will win. He tends to raise his game when he comes up against the best players though so hopefully he'll do that. I think if he plays the way he played against Ljubicic then he will win.

I think I am going to get a good nights sleep and watch the match on eurosport tomorrow morning.

I hope it is a good one for those who choose to wake up / stay up.
