Federer 2-1 up in sets. A set away from getting to his 28th Grand Slam Final. I make that 7 years worth of Grand Slams....

Joyous as it goes to a 5th set.

Almost enjoying myself at work today.

Federer out, that's a big result, Murray really needs to see Berdych off quick and take the extra stamina into the final now, he's a level above both of these guys if he plays his own game.

Berdych wife is a worldly whilst Andy's has a girl next door!

Some of the defensive shots from Murray here are spectacular, he's forcing Berdych to push right to the corners which is creating the errors.

Very well played from Murray.  As long as he isn't intimidated by Raonic's serve, I think he'll win comfortably in 3 sets.

That was a bit of a masterclass from Murray, it was almost as if he was drawing Berdych into a big game by giving him a sniff of a break and then just slamming the door and whilst Berdych recovered he put huge pressure on to break himself, brilliant performance.

Yeah I'm going for a Murray win and in the women's, without any confidence at all, Kerber to beat Williams.

So it's an Andy and Angie double for me.

Serena will destroy Kerber in 2 easy sets.

Murray won't worry about Raonic's serve, he's the best returner in tennis currently.

BBC are ridiculously biased towards Serena Williams today, I know it's very unlikely, but I badly want Angie Kerber to win.

The BBC have a vote for the shot of the tournament - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/tennis/36754265

There's a few great shots there but the Hingis one is special.

The Hingis return is pretty awesome but it's got to be either of the Murray or Willis lobs.

Serena wins the women singles final as expected in straight sets, but fairplay to Kerber for putting up a fight.
