Murray outguns Nadal for final tilt at Federer
Murray, 21, returned to the court 26 hours after a downpour from Tropical Storm Hanna had left him leading two sets to love but a break down in the third to complete a 6-2 7-6 (7/5) 4-6 6-4 victory over Nadal after three hours and 30 minutes of play across the two days.
Murray now faces four-time defending champion and tournament second seed Roger Federer in tonight’s final, when the Scot will be the first Briton to contest a grand slam final since Greg Rusedski lost to Patrick Rafter in the 1997 US Open final.
