Well, my new favourite player, Andy Murray from Scotland, who I first noticed when he was playing in Wimbledon this year, just defeated #1 seed, Rafael Nadal in the Semis. I am so stoked that he will have the opportunity to play against 'possibly' the best tennis player of all time, Roger Federer in the final.
It's not that Andy lucked himself past Nadal, or that Nadal was injured either. This kid, who is only 21, has the quickest and most effortless movement, a very efficient and compact backhand and is so court aware. He flat-out, out-played Nadal in a two-day event due to rain. Andy took the first two sets on Saturday, dropped the third today, and then was able to come back from a 3-1 deficit in the fourth to win 6-4.
For those who care, the scoreline was 6-2, 7-6(7-5), 4-6, 6-4.
He will play Roger on Monday at 5pm EST. This kid has a solid chance of beating him. If you enjoy tennis in the least, you should check this final out.
