What a performance tonight by Andy Murray, beating Nadal in the US open semi-final.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/tennis/7602257.stm

6-2, 7-6, 4-6, 6-4

He now faces Federer in the final tomorrow night and i wouldn't bet against Murray winning after tonights performance! He somehow managed to out-muscle Nadal throughout and really looks like a Grand Slam winning tennis player now

Re: Tennis

Yeah, I'm not much of a Murray fan, but he played well, and it's good to see that Nadal's constant cheating didn't earn him another undeserved win here. Looking forward to the final tomorrow, but I hope for Petchey's sake Murray doesn't win. That would literally make his head explode.

Re: Tennis

Can someone tell me which channel is showing the US Open final tonight, please?

I'm on Virgin Media and am not used to the sports channels. The listing on VMs tv listing page says its on Sky Sports 1 tonight but the listing on the actual VM box doesn't show the same information, as if its not on (I dont know why they should be different!).

Thanks.

Re: Tennis

G-r-e-a-t match.

Murray has matured and evolved so quickly over the last 18+ months.

Federer raised his game - and well played.
And... credit to Murray for sending him there.

I don't think he'll be deflated...

I believe he's made of sterner stuff.

Re: Tennis

Good game, Murray played well but Federer was back to his awesome best, thats why he's the greatest tennis player ever imo, 5 times in a row now he's won the US open, amazing. It could have been very different though if the line judge had got the call right in the second set that would have seen Murray break Federer's serve. But Federer definately deserved it overall.

Yeah the way he broke back right at the end of the last set shows that he's a fighter and doesn't give up. I think we will see him in many finals to come.

Re: Tennis

Great to see Federer back in slam-winning form. With finals at the French and Wimbledon, gold at the Olympics and now a US Open title, it's another terrific year for the great one, and this in spite of a bout of mono as well. Incredible.

He's been criticised in the past for his attitude...
...but it's a single-minded and fighting one. And he seems more focussed now.

Federer shone.

Re: Tennis

Don't forget folks,Murray is a lot younger than Nadal or Federer and his time will come provided he can avoid too many serious injuries.

He's only one year younger then Nadal and he's the same age as Novak Djokovic, i think most of the grand slams will be fought out between these three in the future when Federer slows down who is a fair bit older, but he doesn't look like slowing down anytime soon.
