    I'm tipping Murray on Sunday. I think he was a lot more convincing yesterday than Djokovic was today and I don't think Murray will let him off the hook like Wawrinka did, if he happens to have the same number of dips in his performance.

    I was very impressed by Murray yesterday and also against Dimitrov, which were his two big tests in getting to the final and I think he'll add Grand Slam number three to his list of titles.



    8:30am start.
    Ta, might have missed the first set!

    Also, good luck goes to Katie Swan who is in the girls singles final at just 15 years old.

    She plays in the early hours of tomorrow morning against Tereza Mihalikova of Slovakia.

    All the best to her.

    Also a well done to Jordanne Whiley and her partner who have defended their women's wheelchair doubles title and have now won five Grand Slam titles in a row together after completing a clean sweep in 2014.

    Excellent achievement.

    Here's hoping Katie Swan and Andy Murray can make it three in a row over the weekend.

    They've got two teams of helpers out on court with towels mopping up the rain that's come through the roof gap. The women's final is suspended meanwhile. It's a bit farcical!

    The BBC even have slow-mos of the towels moving from side to side.................

    It was always going to start as an outdoor match, if possible, but the rain was pretty heavy so they had to bring the players off while they closed the roof.

    Serena won six points in a row at the resumption of the match and went two breaks up at 5-2. She failed to serve for the set though as Sharapova broke.

    However Serena's broken again to win the first set 6-3.

    Looks ominous for Sharapova now as her head to head record against Serena is one of the worst in tennis.

    She's failed to beat her in 15 attempts, stretching back over 10 years!

    Bad luck to Katie Swan earlier as she lost the girls final 6-1 6-4.

    Hopefully she'll have a good future ahead of her.

    Well done Williams. Not a bad match.

    I can't help thinking though that the women are most vulnerable when they're serving!

    Decent match considering it was straight sets.

    Serena now moves clear of Martina Navratilova and Chris Evert into second place in the all time women's Grand Slam titles list with her 19th Major success.

    She's now just three behind Steffi Graf who holds the record of 22.

    Serena may be 34 later this year but I wouldn't put it past her to beat that.

    Great Sunday planned.

    Up early to watch Murray, head to Museelburgh for the nags, roast dinner and a nap, MOTD2 then superbowl to see the day home.

    You also have the choice of switching over to Eurosport, if you have Sky or Virgin etc and Andrew Castle doesn't do it for you.

    Murray throws away 3 break points from 0-40 up in the third game. Disappointed will be an understatement.
    Madness, as you know, is a lot like gravity. All it takes is a little push.

    Big game for Djokovic to win there from 0-40.

    Disappointment for Murray.

    This could be a quick morning if Djokovic keeps this form up! 4-1.

    I really dislike the frequency with which Djokovic uses his trainer...

    Balls of steel from Murray so far to twice come back from a break down!

    I think that one was genuine to be honest.

    You saw the mark on his thumb where he obviously fell on during the previous game.

    Sair yin that for Murray, set was there for the taking. Double fault at 4-2 in the tie-break was a shocker.

    I'm going to throw it out there and say this could be one of the great finals.

    It's been brilliant to watch so far.

    Murray breaks early in the second set.

    2-0.

    Djokovic looks like he's hurt his ankle.
