With the slow Valencia surface favouring the­ big-hitting Spaniard, Verdasco might have felt a slight­ favourite, but ultimately he was undone by an opponent­ who counter-punched him into submission.

It was­ certainly Verdasco who looked the more threatening­ early on, as his monster forehand created break point­ chances in games two and five.

But just as the slower­ surface favoured the Spaniard's major weapon, it­ also gave Andy the chance to show off his defensive­ skills, and he soaked up the pressure before turning­ the tables.

Verdasco soon found himself on the end of­ some telling winners, and as his early swagger was­ replaced by discontented mutterings, Andy managed what­ he couldn't with breaks in games seven and­ nine.

Andy moving ahead did anything but make Verdasco­ creep into his shell. He came out and broke right away­ as the second set got underway, before another in game­ five saw him on his way to securing the set 6-2. All of­ a sudden, the Spaniard was back to his old self.

Or so­ it seemed.

Perhaps weighed down by thoughts of London­ and 02 qualification, Verdasco never really seemed that­ far from a mishap, and he had a few as the third set­ got underway.

He dealt admirably with four break­ points to level at two-all, but serving for three-all,­ luck and composure evaded him, and Andy moved 4-2 in­ front.

The Spaniard's mind was still on his last­ service game as Andy breezed to 5-2, and even though he­ held for 5-3, Andy served it out.

milton I wouldn't mind betting you're a Smerf­ or Shrek look-a-like

Well well from injury he has made it to the final. Nice­ work!!! One thing that is still missing from­ Murray's game is his constant focus. He tends to­ lose focus midway through the game and it has cost him­ a few matches. If he corrects that he will be a­ difficult player to beat even on his off day. I­ can't wait for the final!!!
Go Murray Go­ Murray!!!!!

well done :)

Ra I just love the picture of your mother on her 16th­ birthday.

Well done Andy. You beat one of the best today. All­ good practise before you start taking your crown and­ winning Grand Slam tournaments.

I am very happy for my friend Andy, and I am even­ happier I don't have to play against him in my­ final. Roger Federer anyday, I could not stomach four­ defeats in a row!!
