Murray is in another league. Just so much better.

Yep... Just taken it up another notch.. So good

This is a piece of cake for Murray. Hard, stale Scottish mint cake, but cake nonetheless

Going in 3.. So focused now.

Murray's been playing very well but he's been rather unclutch on BP's. Could cost him hard like it did for Federer.

Was going to say this, if that had cost him the set he'd have been kicking himself. Made sure he was super clinical in the tie break instead.

Some of Murray's returns from those body serves have been ridiculous.

They look so inelegant but he keeps getting them in.

The quality of the passing shots all match has been incredible.

I think if this goes how we think it will, Milos will know he lost to the better player, but at the same time he hasn't served to his potential.

Weird how these things go. I guess the story will be all about how Lendl has got Murray back to Slam winning ways. I suspect it's more of a coincidence/lucky charm.

He's done really well to hold his serve so much given the quality of Murray's return. His serve might not be as good as it could be but it hasn't cost him at all.

I feel like his forehand return must be what's cost him. Or is it this bad all the time?

I bet Murray's really thankful not to have to play Federer, even in his aged, injury-ridden state. He'd have made it much closer. Beaten Murray comfortably the last 5-6 times they've played.

 

[MW1304]

His aggressive groundstrokes are what's kept him in the game so far despite his serve not being as effective as usual. He's still bossed most points on his serve in the last two sets.

 

[vic_orthdox]

Only been broken once though hasn't he?

C'mon Milos. You can't be making such poor misses at 0-3 in the tiebreak, two sets down. Anyway it's all over.

 

[Anil]

murray just too good...

 

[Jono]

Jeez, hes been absolutely murdered in the tiebreaks.

Murray deserves a few "soft" Slam final opponents though, has to be said.

 

[Jono]

This has been impressive from Muzz. Never once looked like losing.

 

[harsh.ag]

Murray in 3 for me.

Not a bad call

 

[vcs]

Congrats to Murray! What a win.

 

[MW1304]

What an absolute ****ing great. Pulled it off in the tie breaks like a champ.
