Andy Murray becomes the first British player to reach a grand slam final in 11 years.
Murray beat the world number one Rafael Nadal in the US Open last night.
He wakes up this morning, knowing that he faces Roger Federer in the final tonight. If he wins he will be the first Brit to do so since Fred Perry in 1936.
Though Murray has his detractors in the UK, his fist-pumping and muscle-flexing attitude has won him new fans in the US.
Krishnan talks to Bridget Marrison of Ace Tennis magazine about Murray's win.
