But which will it be?

That elusive first slam or the rather unwanted record of five slam final defeats?

I'm not going to do one of those rather pointless polls (don't actually know how to) but interested to know how hopeful (or otherwise) everyone else is. Djokovic obviously starts as favourite but is the new improved Murray up to the task?

History beckons either way.

Well if we go by recent form in the big tournaments then Murray is the form man and in recent big matches against Djokovic then Murray has given a very good account of himself. Certainly cause for optimism.

Carrie - that pretty much sums up how I'll be feeling tomorrow.

Part of me thinks it's Murray's time. Part of me thinks if Novak plays like he did for spells today then I worry we'll see the 5 in a row.

I just really hope Andy can do it.

Yes Novak impressed today but one thing was clear. He was thriving on too many Ferrer shots that lacked depth. For a short time in the fourth set when Ferrer peppered the baseline and kept the pressure up Djoko invariably ended up trying to break the shackles by hitting long. That tactic worked yet Ferrer failed to stick to it. Hopefully, Andy noted that passage of play.

OK this isn't fair, how do you use those smiley faces.

Find them on a website then copy and paste the URL.

As many have said, I feel hopeful for tomorrow but, should Murray lose, will still see this season as a positive one for him.

Quote one of us and you can see how it's done - that's what I did with carrie's.

I'm not worried in about the 5 losses in a row tag though I'd be gutted at the loss for the sake of the loss in itself.

I watched that smiley for 15 minutes until I realised it wasn't a clip from the Murray / Djokovic semi.
