Murray reaches US Open final

Andy Murray reached the first grand slam final of his career with the result of his life to beat world number one Rafael Nadal in a rain-delayed US Open semi-final in New York tonight.

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.
