Andy Murray French Open
Can he beat the mighty Djokovic? The last British man to win the French Open was Fred Perry in 1935. Come on, Andy! Who else of the ABers will be watching? No no-ers, please. If you don't like tennis or AM, please don't bother with this thread.

Unfortunately for fans of Andy Murray (i'm not one but i do respect him for all that he has achieved in the sport) that "best man" will very probably be the Djokerman. I've just parted with some hard earned/ill-gotten on a 3 sets to 1 win for Djoko @ 11/4 and had, briefly toyed with the idea of splitting my stakes and having a little saver on Andy Murray. But common sense prevailed. Still, the runner-up cheque of 1M Euros will buy wife Kim some new shoes:-)
If Murray gets off to a good start, then yes. I expect we may see that this title means "too much" to Djokovic for him to play with control, particularly if it looks to be slipping away from him. But without a good start it will go to Nole.
Still, great to see Murray making another slam final. I hope he wins. I don't expect him to. But he surprised me and then some against Stan!

I can't resist posting my usual comment, when such a match as this comes up. Here it is..."It's great to see two Scotsmen in such a prestigious match...Andy Murray and Jock Ovitch." (Sorry!)
Murray took the mantle from Fred Perry, when he won the Wimbledon grand slam match, so it would be good if he could do the same thing at Roland Garros...ie the first Brit to do do since the 1930s.
Go for it, Andy!
