Head-to-head is 6-4 Lopez, 6-1 on hard.

A Lopez win would mean a new career high.

Why not when someone shows over excessive hating?

Because most of the time the hating is just to get a reaction - and if you get annoyed and start being abusive then it'll most likely spur them on to do it more often...

Deliciano in 2.

I fear Ferru will be tired, he played too much in last days. :sad: Feliciano in 2.

Not sure why people are complaining. These 2 and Rafa are the best Spanish players on a hard court.

Maybe if it was Robredo vs. Andujar or something, I'd understand.

Lopez is superior on hard, seems to like this particular surface based on results, so I'll go with Deliciano in 3.

fixed

Ferrer doesn't want to be routined by Murray again in the finals, and probably should have lost the 3 setters to Roddick and Ferrero, so he'll be tired and unmotivated. Deliciano in 2. Deliciano, for the record, has 0-6 record against Muzzah on all surfaces, all but one concluded in straight sets, (the one 3 setter in LA includes Murray bageling Lopez). So good luck FLo?

I came into the thread to say this is Ferrer's golden opportunity but, my God, their H2H history does not bode well. Ferrer definitely has had the more grueling matches the last two days so, reluctantly, I pick Lopez in 3... and prepare for Murray to give him another beatdown in the final.

Feli.

either way, unless kei actually manages to upset murray the final will suck

Gayliciano in 3

Lopez in a final of a 1000 would be a joke but this tournament is a joke anyway so this would be fitting.

Haven't you seen Lopez this year? The guy has been excellent - gave Djokovic as hard a game as nearly anyone this year, and on clay too.

With nothing to defend in Paris or Aus he could get to a ranking of 12-15ish in the next few months, even if he loses today.

Haven't you seen Lopez this year?

I have seen him...against Murray...and some other matches where he didn't impress me at all.

And Djokovic isn't that great against lefty servers, see Llodra last year at Paris.
