These are picks for tomorrow, the points next to each name is how many points you get if that player wins. Points now add up to 15, not 10:
Murray (5) vs Wawrinka (10)
Djokovic (2) vs Youzhny (13)




Good luck

Wawrinka and Djoko

Stan&Nole   

Stan Wawrinka

Novak Djo

-----

One SHBH and one DHBH winner.

I would love Richie to win this USO, it would be just so sweet and human.
My dream final would be Gasquet-Youzhny/Wawrinka (can't make my mind up between the two, Youzhny Gasquet would be great drama as they are even and so passionate, but a win over Stan would mean more to Gasquet as a personal victory after that 5 settr loss against him in Rg this year, would just be great to see a player reborn on a tennis court like that)

Plan B

Djokovic-Nadal with Nole playing out of his mind, Nadal being humiliated in 3 sets (one of them bagel)  and left steaming livid inside.

Djokovic and Wawrinka

Murray and Djokovic

Pragmatic

Go Staaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan! 

This could be a classic.
I want Stan to win but Murray has the best chance to beat Nadal so... i want Stan to win anyway

huh? Have you hacked the real Nitb's account?
What happened?

It's just ridiculous that a player with the firepower of Wawrinka will end up with zero slam wins.

btw: very gusty out there

Why? Berdych, soderling, blake etc had a lot of firepower but had no slams.

His footwork lets him down, unfortunately.

LOL.

People think this guy has a serious standing chance against Ironman?

Just tuned in to see Murray double-fault and then Stan take the set!

Murray smashing his racquet etc.....
Staaan the Maaaaaaaan!!!

I was supporting Murray before the match because I thought he may have a better chance of taking out Ironman, but honestly neither Fed's little brother or Murray will cope with him.

Blake always played all or nothing, you can't win slams like that. Sod and Berd can hit hard but it's not like Stan's best shots, nowhere near actually.
I think Stan is the best player to watch these days. If only he could keep his focus better and not take his eye off the ball at times(at the net f.i.)...

So, Waw wins the set after dominating and outplaying Murray for the best part of the set. Andy's in trouble.

He,he, you never knew the real NITB, GP!

But I admit, here on OTF, I do feel a lot more at home than at any other forum....viva the power of free speech

I've said this before and met a furious response.

ALLEZ STAN THE MAN!

FinallY something we both agree on.

Why such an aggressive and rude response, do you have anger management problems?

Stan exposing how completely weaponless Murray is....

Maybe you're a nice guy but you do talk crap often, better?

Examples?
(Apart from my Nadal jinxing either during or before matches when I get nervous)

Stan has improved his fitness in the last year a lot and plays with more confidence now, which is great to see, really goes for his shots, complete contrast to Murray who seems to be neither coming nor going....

WHAT A BHDTL FROM STAN!!!!!

Let's just say as long as you talk without having Nadal on your mind, it's okay.

Back to live tennis: who's going to win today?
Murray has to step up and get it, it's not coming to him.But at the moment he doesn't know how to step up

Yes, but that's your opinion.

Considering you are a Fed fan, and I am a Nadal fan- will we agree much anyway?

This is apart from my jinxing when I get nervous- even I recognise that I may not be accurate there.

I reckon Stan is ready to win, Murray's plan B is to go into pure pushing mode and hope that Stan somehow loses focus or gets frustrated, but I'd like to believe Stan is over that phase in his career now, even Berd chokes less and less...

How bad is murray's ball striking? SO poor, wouldn't you say JS .
Stan is such a pure strokesman in comparison.

Stan is competely controlling the match: he has better shots, looks fit, isn't even nervous.
Andy did many houdini jobs but i don't know how he can do another one today.

And there's the 5-2 lead.

Julia, most people here are predominately TENNIS fans, that could be the problem for you as it's very hard to be objective with blinkers on.

Luvsport, do you see the difference between Stan's winners and Sod's and Berd's?

Really really bad atm, no aggression from Andy.

This is appalling Murray, COME ON STAN, send the bore packing!

LS, did you watch Evans vs Robredo?
Has he ever played Murray?

o boy, that's was nervous Stan again..

Come on Stan no stopping now!!!

GP, sorry I misconstrued your point. But there have been plenty of beautiful tennis players to watch who haven't won a slam: Rios for example, nalbandian as well.

"Atm". Resolutely sticking to your guns.

I didn't as I had an early start the next day unfortunately. Nope they have never played. 
I said to JS i thought he was more talented and a better ball striker than murray. 
He derisively laughed it off. I did the same when he thought nadal is more talented than nalbandian and ferrer more talented than verdasco.

Yes, it's those lovely open shoulders on his FH, I loved about Dan, same as Stan in fact!

Yes!
A year ago Stan would have not been able to serve out the set to take a 2-0 set lead against the defending champ

I didn't laugh it off, I disagreed.
Still do.

Stan may be more talented than Andy, but not Evans.

COME ON ANDY
LETS DOOO THIS.

Stan has been a new man since that match against Nole in AO.

You have a very strange definition of talent....
