Good prediction Notorious. I must confess I didn't see him beating Murray but is was one way traffic throughout.

However, I do think the Donkey was fresher than the Scot after his long duel with Federer yesterday.

Not to take anything away from the Donkey as he's looking good - great serving today.

Hope he wins the whole thing.

Novak is exhausted, I don't expect a more competitive final than the Murray vs Davydenko match we have just seen to be honest.

It is a shame that the masters cup format puts one player at a disadvantage all the time, Today Murray was wiped out, and tomorrow Novak is going to be in the same situation......... resulting in an anti climax really.

Expected, since you know nothing about matchups, or, in fact, tennis in general.

Some nice jinxes on Murray in here by the way from the likes of Deku. doh

Another prediction right, as per usual. Read back and you will see that I stated that either Novak or Andy would win this tournament. ok

Wherever I look throughout 606, there are Simon fans, Nadal fans, Federer fans, Murray fans, Djokovic fans, Tsonga fans, Del Potro fans, Roddick fans, patriots, unpatriotics, disenfranchised, indifferents, neutrals; and then death and all his/her freinds.

But nowhere do I see a Davydenko fan, nowhere do I hear someone, anybody singing his praises. Apart from one or two mouths & voice boxes dismembered from a formerly whole body, by society and followers of superiorism.

He stays in the top 10 but he is still no god.
Hard work, perseverance and resolve deserve

Now I am doing something about it.

I’ve made a fan club to celebrate him, you can join by saying so

Sure Djokovic won, but Davydenko did something 6 of the top 8 couldn’t do and that’s get to the final.

He has winning record against Murray, Del Potro and Tsonga. And record-wise isn’t fazed by Djokovic.

So here’s to the support of a doomed-to-be unsung and tragic hero.
