    Anyone watching?

    Murray is looking very good indeed.

    If he beats Federer this will be the first time in a grand slam.

    Well done Murray!

    Disappointed for Fed... But Andy's got a much better chance of beating Novak!

    Fed is one of the true gents in sport.
    No controversy, no bitterness just plain old class.

    The thing for Fed is that, yeah he's past his prime and will take a regular beating from the best and fittest players, but he can still comfortably get to the Semis of every tournament by simply turning up. At least when he goes down, he invariably goes down fighting and gives the top 2/3 a game. For that reason alone I hope he doesn't retire for a while, because if he does it would give one of these young up-starts far too easier a path to Grand Slam dominance, especially with Nadal out.

    Fair play to Murray. He is winning me round.

    He'll get a good pasting againts Djokovic! the only reason he won the American one was because Djokovic played the day before the final which was unfair.

    Fed-Ex was playing some unbelievable stuff in that match.

    Murray has the best return of serve I think I've ever seen though, the guy deserves credit for how far he's come in the last 12 months. My money is on him to beat Djokovic.

    I think Muzza may actually have a decent chance in the final. Undoubtedly Djoko will be favourite, but I reckon Murray can win.

    Murray looks good. Had Novak on the run a bit more importantly. Gotta try and sap the life out of him now. Novak is hard work but Murray equally so.

    Novak bites back, could be a long one! Poor tie break but otherwise good stuff from Murray. Hopefully Murray can go again.

    Novak will tire.
    Murray is a machine.
