It's on at the moment (Sky Sports 1), Nadal just took the first game. Murray has struggled against Nadal every time he's played him, hopefully he'll get his tactics right and win through to the final (IMG:style_emoticons/default/Check_it.gif)

I'm hoping Murray wins this, but I'm not holding out any hope for it. He's got a crap track record against Nadal, in that he's never won, but hopefully he can turn it around here and get through to the final.

Murray's just broke Nadal's serve, 2-1 to Murray now. Nadal looks a bit dodgy, a few wayward shots etc (IMG:style_emoticons/default/Check_it.gif)

Wooo! Come on Murray! Let's hope he keeps it up and gets his first win over Nadal.

Murray was playing brilliantly when I was watching, I'm not watching atm but if he continues to play like that he has a real chance.

Come on Andy!

3-2 to Nadal in the third set, and Nadal is the server, Murray must have had his serve broken (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Yeah, Murray was broke on the very first game of the 3rd set. They've gone off for like a huge storm - doesnt look like it'll be finished today, what with the Women's final still having to be played.

Murray'll pull it back. He just needs to play with confidence and he'll take it.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Andy Murray is in the final. He just won in 4 sets, absolutely brilliant. I really hope he can play like he did in the last few rounds in the final.

Amazing that he's managed to make a Grand Slam final.

He's beaten Federer in the past, so there's every chance he can do it again. That's if the pressure of the occassion doesn't get to him. If it does it'll be over in 5 sets.

If Federer can play his best he will win without a doubt, however, if Federer fails to perform at his best Murray can pull it off again like he has done it before.

I'm supporting Murray because i despise Federer. I'd be really suprised if Murray won though, because Federer has been great throughout the tournament, and when he's playing his best, he is second to none.
