    Lot of hate going around today?

    From the bit I saw last night looked like he deserved to win. Seems anyone who can slug it out with Nadal has a chance as he doesn't go for many winners & waits for opponent to make mistakes.

    I watched Murray and I have to say he looked good, but after seeing the way Roger Federer beat Djokovic in the other semi, I think he hasn't a hope of winning.
    Federer was unbelievable and looked like the Federer of old.
    I like Andy Murray but he beat a tired Nadal and I don't think he can beat Federer.
    LESS OF THE BULL NOW!

    have to agree, i think he caught nadal at the right time. nadal has been preforming to his highest alot recentlly and it has taken its toll. straight sets win for federer in the final i think.

    Should be a good match against Federer. Fed is the favourite but Andy's got a good game to take Roger on, hence the 2-1 lead in the head-to-head. I'm just hoping for a great match, may the best player win

    Murray was brilliant last night. Nobody has ever dominated Nadal the way he did at times during the match. The second last point of the match really illustrated this.

    Murray has been playing the better tennis during the hard court season of any player on tour, including this tournament. If he can match his performance of last night he will win. It all boils down to whether he can handle the pressure mentally of his first grand slam final. Also Federer really doesn't like playing against Murray as their head to head record shows.

    I have just stuck £2 in Murray at 2.92 decimal odds, it is honours even at 2 sets all atm going with serve so I would say it is a coin flip, I watched Murray and he was pretty good Murray is on the up and Federer is on the slide as I see it. You could take the view that Murray made Nadal look tired, I hope so otherwise I am £2 down

    How things can change, he just broke Federer to love when previously he had seemed invincible, I expected Murray to get better as he got into the game.
    My £2 is not dead yet

    Murray was destroyed in the first set. He is hanging on in the second as Federer a bit distracted, looks like on way to tie break. If he goes 0-2 has little chance. Should have taken 3-0 at 5/2

    Hmmmm... 2 sets down, not looking good but 7-5 is better than 6-2, would be great if he could turn it around but it's a mountain to climb now.

    It looks all over now, Federer seems to play his shots with such ease like he is playing table tennis, so much natural ability and always in the right place at the right time.
    Murray currently 400-1. Game over.

    Federer was so much better. The game to win the second set was as they would say in NY just awesome.

    I expect Murray would have fared better if he had a day to rest. If Murray hadn't lost three consecutive break points in the second set the dynamic of the game might have changed, but all in all Federer was the better player and he looked invincible at times. Murray was pretty popular with the crowd though.
    Me backing him was probably the kiss of death for him!

    Thumbs up

    Saw clip of Murray press conference where he is asked how it feels as 21 year old to take home $1m. He responses "...is that worth 10 pounds?..."
