Well.. I know you're out there, tennis fans. I've seen you post in various threads.

Now Federer AND Nadal are out, I'm unsure what to think, where to go. I'm naturally inclined to say Murray because Djokovic never wins anything whenever I watch (in all the years I've never seen him win a single match),
but saying that is now a moot option because he just spit roasted Federer and looks pretty incredible.

So does Murray but Murray having won only zero majors, Djoker on one.
Murray also has classic Britain pressure syndrome to deal with.

Place your bets.

I'll go for Murray.

No Murray because if he wins one Englerlanders won't shut the hell up about it for a long time.

Even though he is scottish the English will use him when he is hot as one of their own and dump him when he chokes. WHy the English have sucked at one of their sports for decades (sounds like football?) baffles me.

Djoker all the way. Murray with his tongue hanging out is painful to watch.

Murray is generally significantly more talented and all round capable than Djok.

Djok has a severe mental problem that he falls for pressure and irritation and also he is a sucker for heat (Australia).

Neither have a 'weapon' such as Nadals unfathomable defense or Federer's ballistic forehand, but Murray has probably the highest ability in anticipation, he can read players beyond that of nadal, I would say.

They're both hard court players, they're both quick, really. Murray also has the advantage on mood. Although his mood shines through more, it affects his game much less.

Also, the idea of watching that ball bounce 256 times between every fricking point drives me insane. I want Djoker out in straight sets just to get that out of the way. Utterly ridiculous. Sometimes I swear he is contemplating the expansion of the galaxy as he bounces for his serve.

As a massive Rafa fan I was obvs gutted at his defeat but I must admit the opportunity to watch Murray and Djoko is the final is kind of making up for it - this is the first Nadal/Federer-less GS final since Djoko won in AU in 2008 - that is 3 years!

Murray's time is now or never. I'm tired of him geting hyped every ef ing tournament only to flame out or bend over for Federer in the finals. As the British press will have everyone know "the hopes of a nation" are on his shoulders tomorrow ... good luck with that, bruv.

As for Djoko I certainly see where some of the other posters are coming from - he has a terrible record and reputation of baby fit antics in the heat, with noted problems down under (didn't he puke on the court last year?). That being said, anyone who was lucky enough to watch his 5 set victory against Fed in the US Open semis this year knows that 'the Djoker' may finally have the heart it takes to go all the way in majors.

My money is on Nole.

P.S. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE I CAN WATCH THIS? Sitting in my apartment in front of my laptop is adequate but not terribly exciting ...

Whoa just realized I should have been more specific - is there anywhere in SEOUL, i.e. a sports bar where I can watch ths? The schedule at Sam Ryan's says they are playing it tomorrow ... boo. And Beer O'clock is playing hockey. Double boo. Anywhere I'm missing?
