Andy Murray advanced to the U.S. Open men's singles final with a dramatic win against #1 player Rafael Nadal over two days. Though the British player held a 2-0 advantage in sets when play was suspended on Saturday, Nadal was up a break in the third. It looked like the Spaniard would set up another Grand Slam final against Roger Federer when he took that third set and appeared comfortably ahead in the fourth. But Murray found a way to do what no one else yet has: he ran Nadal ragged around the court. Rafa actually looked tired (!) after the penultimate point of the match and, with a half-hearted drop shot that he barely tried to cover, surrendered the final point looking pretty spent near the end of an incredible breakthrough season. So now Murray will face The Fed--who has been my tournament pick since before the event started--for the U.S. Open title.
