Murray has a chance
Andy Murray faces Rafael Nadal for a place in the US Open final tonight and the Scot is great value to finally get the better of his Spanish rival.
He may need to produce the performance of life to do so, but the Dunblane battler is in the form ofhis life and will never have a better chance to make his first Grand Slam final.
That said it’s easy to see why Nadal is such a warm favourite – he has won all five of the pair’s previous meeting and thrashed the Scot in their last five-set match at Wimbledon this year.
His performance that day was totally dominant and if after that match, someone had offered you 1/4 about the the Majorcan winning their next Grand Slam encounter, you would have snapped it up.
However, a lot of water has gone under the bridge since then. Murray’s game has come on in leaps and bounds, while the newly crowned world No. 1 appears to have gone slightly off the boil.
