Watch US Open final online

Andy Murray is one step away from becoming the first British man to win a grand slam title in 72 years and you can watch the tennis action from the US Open online tonight.

All that stands between Murray and lifting the US Open men's title in the Arthur Ashe Stadium is Roger Federer, one the most successful tennis players of modern times.

Murray disposed of world number one Rafael Nadal in the semi-final in four sets after inclement weather stopped play when the 21-year-old Scot was two sets up.

Action resumed yesterday and Murray held his nerve to take the match 6-2 7-6 4-6 6-4.

Roger Federer is a four-time champion at the US Open, but Murray has won two of his three encounters with Federer.

"I played well enough to beat the number one player in the world over two days and I've beaten Roger in the past," Murray said in a press conference.

"I have the tennis to compete with those guys. I just have to make sure I do it for three out of five sets rather than for a set and a half, two sets," he added.

Should Murray win he will pick up a cheque for $1,500,000 (about £850,000).

Federer, who has reached 18 consecutive grand slam semi-finals will be chasing his 13th major.
