Roddick is the American, Hewitt the Aussie.

Well then who do you like? Seeing as there are no English tennis players who can actually play a decent match.

There is a British one though...

I would rather he played Hewitt than Roddick. Hewitt has a fairly similar game to Murray but Murray just does it better at it, so I see no way Hewitt can hurt him. With Roddick there is a contrast in styles, although he should still win.

Hooper I like Federer. He's awesome. One of the best sportsmen i've ever had the honour of watching.

Murrary's a miserable sod who thinks he's American. That's why i'm not really his biggest fan.

Read the second article down. It was a joke for ffs.

Karlovic is no match for FedX. He is getting outclassed easily.

Skater · 1st July 2009, 04:56 PM

Murray demolished Ferrero. A Brit in the semis for the first time in 8 years.

How far did Tim Henman ever get?

Djokovic is out as well, but Haas is playing well so might be a tough one for FedX there. Murray should be in the final though, where he will most probably lose. Good tournament for him, nevertheless.

scion_sid · 2nd July 2009, 07:41 AM

Hass had FedX by throat in French Open till he relaxed and let Roger in the match. This will be revenge time for him.

Think the last British player in the semis was Henman 8 years ago.

Murray needs to up his game a wee bit if he wants to be Federer I'd think, although, he seems to play great against the top players, outside Slams, but let's wait and watch.

Djokovic is clearly in a slump, needs to buck up, if he wants to stay where he is in the rankings. However, I hope Tommy Haas makes Federer work for his victory, he's a top 5 fav. of mine, and he's underachieved his whole career, due to constant injuries.

Semi-finals, 4 times.

Epic match between Hewitt and Roddick. I was up till 5am watching it. Just when you thought it'd go one way there'd be a twist. So many break points for Hewitt in that last set but Roddick's serve was phenomenal. Hope he beats that Scottish prick in Murray though.

Ooh, tough talk.
