Rain and winds battered Flushing Meadows on Saturday, but Andy Murray did not let the elements affect him, as the Brit advanced to the men's final of the 2012 U.S. Open with a win over Tomas Berdych of the Czech Republic. It will be the fifth Grand Slam final appearance of Murray's career.
Murray advanced 5-7, 6-2, 6-1, 7-6 (9) over Berdych in a rain-delayed match that took three hours and 58 minutes. Berdych was more distracted by the environment, committing a whopping 64 unforced errors to just 20 for Murray.
The 2012 Open is the first major championship since the 2004 French Open to not have Roger Federer or Rafael Nadal competing in the semifinals. Murray will face the winner of Saturday's second semifinal match between Novak Djokovic and David Ferrer.
