Well he fell apart...or maybe I should say Djokovic took him apart. So Novak vs. either Murray or Ferrer. Hoping Murray beats Ferrer. I think I would then be pulling for Murray just to see him finally get his first major. But I wouldn't be bummed if Djokovic won another.

It will be great to see Murray & Djokovic battle it out for this Slam. Both will be feeling a ton of urgency to win and the one who loses will be totally devastated.

Nice to see the two other guys in the Top 4 take that next step, they've both paid their dues over the years. This match will be a toss-up, but I'd have to go with Djokovic in 5 sets because he looks very solid at the moment.

Yeah since Djokovic has been there before and actually won a Slam he is less likely than Murray to crumble under the pressure...but Murray has been to one final so maybe he learned something from that.

Gotta give kudos to Djokovic, 2nd time in a row he's taken out Federer. Didn't think it would happen. I hope Murray beats Ferrer and wins it all. Could be a stepping stone to having a Brit finally win Wimbledon in his home country. God know Henman couldn't do it.

Djokovic earned this title by playing supreme tennis. He is at that next level and looks dominant.

This was Murray's worse ever GS Final performance, being completely obliterated by his close rival. He continues to insist on pushing and playing defense out there but that will never get it done against the best. Some first serves wouldn't hurt either...

Gotta give props to DJ Okovic, he took Murray to school.

Murray can take some solace from the fact that players like Lendl and Clijsters lost their first 3 or 4 Slam finals. But it's going to take a whole lot of workboth physically and mentally for him to finally break through. That, or he'd better hope that Nadal, Federer and Djokovic are all ousted earlier in the tournament.
