Andy Murray stuns Rafael Nadal in US Open semifinals

It turns out the rain delay in the men's semifinals between Andy Murray and Rafael Nadal is not exactly a blessing for the latter.

Murray continued and finished a stunning victory over Nadal 6-2, 7-6 (5), 4-6, 6-4 at the U.S. Open last night to reach his first ever Grand Slam final.

The sixth-seeded Murray won the first two sets and was down a break at 3-2 in the third when play was suspended Saturday because of Tropical Storm Hanna.

He is trying to become the first British man to win a major tennis championship since Fred Perry at the 1936 U.S. Open.

Murray will face four-time defending U.S. Open champion Roger Federer in the delayed Monday night’s final. Federer beat Novak Djokovic in four sets in a semifinal that was completed before the rain arrived Saturday.
