US Open Final: Andy Murray vs Novak Djokovic - Live on Sky Sports 1

Team GB Gold Medalist Andy Murray takes on reigning champion Novak Djokovic in tonight's US Open final - screening live on Sky Sports 1 at 9pm (UK time). 25-year-old Murray, speaking before tonight's crucial encounter, says winning gold last month has given him the confidence to win his first Grand Slam final, on what will be his fifth attempt.

"Winning against him in the Olympic semi-final was a big win for me," "Winning the Olympics did, for me, take a bit of the pressure off. I did feel a lot better after that. I maybe had less doubts about myself and my place in the game just now," "I know that on Monday that I'm going to give everything I have on the court. That's all I can do.

Murray, who was the third seed going into the tournament, would become the first British male to win a Grand Slam since Fred Perry in 1936. However to accomplish that feat, Murray must beat one of his biggest rivals in his career, who has not lost a hard-court match at a major tournament since he lost the US Open final in 2010. A victory for second seed Djokovic would win him the sixth major title for his career. source - bbc sport
