Scotland's Andy Murray is through to his second U.S. Open final after beating Tomas Berdych of the Czech Republic in four sets at a windswept Arthur Ashe Stadium on Saturday, Sept 8, CNN reports.
The No.3 seed rallied after losing the opening set to eventually overrun the Czech 5-7 6-2 6-1 7-6 (8-6) in three hours 58 minutes. Both players struggled with the windy conditions on court which delayed and disrupted points throughout the match.
"It's hard to describe. You have to focus for every single point and you had to get yourself in the right position for every single shot ..." Murray said after the match.
"It's the hardest conditions I've ever played in for sure. And I come from Scotland, so that's saying something," he added.
The Scot will have to overcome either Serbia's Novak Djokovic or David Ferrer of Spain in the final to claim his first Grand Slam title.
Ferrer was leading Djokovic 5-2 in the first set of their semifinal when officials suspended play for the day because of the threat of severe weather.
The match is scheduled to resume at 11am ET on Sunday.
