Too good. Nole in three to spare us the misery. :snicker

He's a lot fresher than in the Rome final. I'd love to see him get it done in three, but I picked four allowing for some nerves.

I think Nole wins in 4. Pressure on both guys, but I think Novak will be mentally good for some reason, just a feeling that he is peaking at the right time.

Absolutely no pressure on Murray. Andy has explicitly said that he was not even expecting to be in the finals at RG. Even when asked about the impending final, instead of saying I hop I win, he just said that I hope I give a decent fight to Novak.

I will share my thoughts on the match later.

But, for the first time in my life, I will be rooting for Andy.

Go Andy!

Yeah, horrendous tournament, horrendous final. The most boring match up of the big 4 by a country mile. Puke.

The other 3 slams must finally be happy that Roland Garros also has to experience this awful matchup in a final. Still can't believe we have this rivalry has a meeting in all 4 slam finals.

Expect Nole to get the career slam and Murray the career plate slam

Weather looks bad on sunday and especially during the period from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. when the finals will be played. Perhaps, it might be a good idea to move the starting time to 11 a.m.; but, I don't think they will do it.

But, these forecasts change and so let us see as to what the forecast says tomorrow about Sunday's weather.

If Murray doesn't feel pressure going into a grand slam final, I would be absolutely shocked. He might not have expected this result, but I don't think you can say, he goes in not feeling a lot of pressure to finally win another slam. It would be one thing if he got smoked by Novak in the Rome finals, but he knows he can technically beat Novak. I think saying he just wants to put up a good fight is just being humble. He might not expect to win, but he definitely really wants to...
