Federer and Murray in the Final at Wimbledon
I'm partial to Fed but I'm happy to see Murray get a shot at the championship. Getting past Tsonga into the final seemed like a struggle of confidence more than one of skill for Murray. He wanted to go backwards and shriek and growl rather than fight. I think Lendl has helped him immensely and it's proven by his arrival in the final. He has an obstacle named Federer who won't go quietly and may roll over him if he's not careful. I wish them both a great match but I prefer to see Fed set a new record as his likely last Grand Slam Championship win. Call me selfish, but I want to be able to say I did watch him go where no one has ever gone in tennis and it seems unlikely anyone else will again. Good luck Federer.
