For a while on Sunday it appeared as though Andy Murray was rattled enough to give up his semifinal lead over number one-ranked Rafael Nadal, but the Scotsmen held on and will now meet Roger Federer in the US Open final Monday.

After leading the first two sets, the matchup between the game's greatest player and sixth-ranked Murray was postponed by rain until Sunday afternoon.

When the game picked up it appeared as though Nadal would take command. When Murray repeatedly failed to capitalize on break point potential in the second game of a fourth set, it looked as though Nadal could hold on and steal a win in a fifth set.

But for Rafael Nadal a comeback was not to be as Murray quickly regained composure and finished off the four-set victory.

With the victory 21-year-old Murray has earned his first trip to a Grand Slam final and will face the four-time defending champion in Federer.
