We need one. Is anyone here following the US Open semi-finals. Hopefully Fed can close it out.

My money's on Nadal.

I'm also hoping that Nadal wins this match with Federer to win the final.

Forget that, Murray won the first set 6-2 against Nadal and has had a few break points in the second set and Murray is playing well, very well. Some of his shots today have been superb, he is easily in the top 5 in the world and justifiably.

He's better than the craptacular Ferrer

I really hope Murray gets through this match as I think he really deserves to do well this year. I also hope that Feds can up his game and get at least one GS this season.

EDIT: And Federer is through. \o/

Nervy tie-break there.

Hopefully he can calm down a little now.

Just switched this on but no sound, what's the hold up? Rain I'm guessing.

Sure, I could un-mute it but that means I'd have to get up.

Aye, rain break. There was supposed to be a storm hitting New York earlier, not sure if this is it or not.

Yeah it's raining. Hopefully when they come back out Murray can finish the match off in this set because if Nadal wins it I could see the momentum being enough for him to win the next two.

Murray has been absolutely astonishing, this break might help him he was struggling in the 3rd set there. Some of Murray's backhands have been like bullets :shock:

I think the break wil help Nadal more than Murray as he's been rattled by losing the first two sets. They probably won't play again today due to the awful weather but hopefully Murray can play this good tomorrow.
