Murray beats Nadal at the US Open now for Federa in the final...

I just had to celebrate this moment and try to give you some perspective of what it means to us Brits. A Brit hasn't won a grand slam final since Fred Perry in 1936. Yup! 82 baron years, which is why the whole of Britain will be tuned into the final tomorrow.Murray Wins Semi!!!

Murray played a brilliant semi-final crafting a well deserved win against the much fancied world # Rafa Nadal in NYC this afternoon. He's now given himself a shot of actually winning this thing, and will face Fed in the final tomorrow.

Andy has a 2-1 winning record over Fed, having won the last two meetings between them. There's no question Andy has the game to beat Fed, but it'll be a tall order delivering against the five time US Open champion, someone who happens to be on a mission to win his world #1 spot back. Of course Andy's win would be a great thing for Britain and British tennis, but I also believe if Andy accomplishes the unthinkable (well unthinkable for any Brit) tomorrow, it would be great for tennis in general. It'll be the first time in my lifetime the world's top four players all have a genuine chance of finishing the season at #1.

The thought of these dudes being head and shoulders above the rest of the field and regularly meeting eachother in any combination in the slam and masters' finals will be scintillating.
