murray wins in 4.

5th grand slam final.

Cheers skipper, pleased for murray

[Randall]

djokovic will have to scrape ferrer off court, rather murray played the spaniard.

two slam finals in a row for murray, not to mention the olympics.

[Randall]

play suspended by the police in new york due to a tornado warning.

cant harm murrays chances any.

[gazman]

Hes got to be praying for a Ferrer win. On the hard court Murray would be a big favorite.

[Randall]

ferrer was 5-2 up in the 1st at suspension.

he would be favourite, then again if he can beat djokovic..............

i really think and hope this is murrays time.

[gazman]

I have that feeling too regardless of who gets through the other semi. I just reckon that his Olympics triumph has given him the belief to win one of these and if he does I honestly reckon he'll become a multiple slam winner. Federer's not getting younger and with Nadal's dodgy knees, his chances are looking better and better.

[Randall]

hard to disagree with that, over the next few years, unless someone knew bursts on the seen its likely to be him and djokovic.

[gazman]

His record now is unbelievable, and he just needs to fall over the line. If he doesn't do this one I really fear for his mind set as in all honesty its his best chance to date. Theres some decent players about but other than the other 3 theres not really anyone to worry too much about (apart from on clay). The rivalry between him and djokovic could be compelling stuff.

[welsh]

I think Murray has a great chance of winning this,Even if Novak reaches the final i dont think he's quite at his best at the moment..

[Randall]

djokovic beat ferrer quite easily today it seems.

big task ahead, come on andy.

[Randall]

azarenka nearly/should have won last night it seems.

sadly mr williams did.

tbf it must be hard for a woman to beat a strapping fella

[Randall]

azarenka served for the match it seems, shes that lass with the yelp, have to watch her on mute, if indeed i bother to watch her at all.

[DrZoidberg]

she was 2 points away from the match, i think.

time is murray on tonight??

[Randall]

i believe its around 9pm, dont quote me though.

[DrZoidberg]

i believe its around 9pm, dont quote me though.

taken as gospel!

[Randall]

taken as gospel!

at least unlike ladies tennis, if i am an hour out you wont tune in to find youve missed it.

[martin71109]

fingers crossed for murray, i'll try and tune in for the match

[DrZoidberg]

just on the bbc site, ist listing murray and djokovic's career earnings.

just the measly 21.5m for andy compared to 39m for novak.

sickening!

[M H]

If he wins a couple of majors he could repay the Paraguyan national debt!
