ugh :( unfortunate result. Cilic had a great run to the semis, but in the end he has only himself to blame for the long matches he played against Tomic and Roddick. He'll be back at this stage in other slams for sure.

unforunately I think Murray is going to win this title. :eek: This is just one of those tournaments when everything is working in his favor-best draw possible, injured Nadal, tired Cilic, best possible match scheduling and he's in good form. Unless he's nervous again in the final or Federer/Tsonga plays really well, I can't see how Murray can lose :eek:

I am actually in peace with Murray winning his first slam. The sooner he wins, the sooner his one slam wonder career will be over.

Losers care about the draw. You win 7 matches you take home the hardware. I don't care if you played a bunch of John McEnroe's or a bunch of Patrick McEnroe's. You beat who is put in front of you. Anyone who tries to take away from someone's deep run in a Grand Slam with a bunch of draw talk is nothing more than a jealous chump who is bitter their favorite doesn't have a shot.

If Jo Willy doesn't do it, I hope Murray does. He has the talent and has put in the work. Good for him if he can pull it off.

haha. this is a joke right? If Murray chokes, it's Roger's fault?

Murray's game is really good, now. I don't know what he's done in the off-season, but he's so much better than last year. Like I already said, only an in-form Fed can stop him.
I really do hope Fed makes it to the final, and bring his A-game. Cause I really, really want too see how the GOAT deals with Murray's game. If Federror decided to show up in the final, then it will be a quite embarrassing scoreline for Fed.

Come on, Fed! Beat Tsonga and bring your best game against Murray. Show me a fantastic tennis match! A Tennis Match of The Ages!!! Bring it on!!!!!:fiery::fiery::fiery:

I don't like Murray and I probably never will. Trust me, I've tried so hard, but I just can't. However, he's played pretty good at this tournament and he deserves to win it.

Who knows what could've happened if Marin had enough gas in the tank for the whole match, but Murray fought off his demons and played some incredible shots out there. Good luck I guess, although, I doubt I'll cheer for him :spit: What a messy post, huh :spit:

My take on it is that he started a bit slowly and nervously especially when he failed to break early in the first - he had chances, could not get it.

I also think early on he was struggling to get the tactics just right between trying to hit with pace and trying to extend the rallies and move Cilic about - later on he started to find the right weight of shot he needed to use, and this allowed him to play closer to the baseline and play the points more on his terms.

Cilic also started to fade, definitely, especially after that breakthrough in the second set. The momentum switched and Marin was just too tired to be able to find a way to wrest it back.
