US Open 2012 - Andy Murray...could this be his year?

Greetings All or to Tennis Fans at least,

First things first, my response to the title - YES, 2012 IS HIS YEAR!!!

This year's US Open has been exciting to say the least.  My favorite, Andy Murray has made it to the last match of the tournament; he will be playing in tomorrow's men's final at 4pm EST...yes, it's on a Monday (once again), thanks to the heavy rains on Saturday evening, which prevented the other Semi Final match (Djokovic/Ferrer) from completing. 

Murray's opponent has now been finalized (Sunday, around 1:30pm) - it's none other than Djokovic....yikes.  Am I worried?  Yes.  But Andy Murray has been looking in tip-top form this year (let's not forget that Gold Medal he won during last month's Olympic Games in London, defeating Federer).  His dedication to practice has not gone un-noticed.  Here he is on Court 17 on Arthur Ashe Kids Day (Aug 25, 2012).

I can't wait to see the press conference if Murray is able to pull off a victory, and win his first Grand Slam.  I believe Sir Sean Connery will make another guest appearance, and perhaps once more declare to the world that wine is a Scottish creation.  What fun that would be.
