Rafael Nadal was beat by Andy Murray.

Leading by two sets, but trailing 3-2 and a break down, the sixth seed lost the third set when the Spanish top seed held serve to win the set 6-4.
Continually pressurized by Murray's clever variations from the baseline, Nadal was forced to save seven break points in a marathon second game in the fourth set before holding serve. But the Briton broke in the sixth and the 10th to end the match in three hours 30 minutes with a 6-2, 7-6, 4-6, 6-4 victory. The 21-year-old will play four-times defending champion Roger Federer in Monday's final.
Meanwhile, Cara Black of Zimbabwe and Liezel Huber of the United States won the women's doubles championship for the first time when they beat 10th seeds Lisa Raymond of the United States and Samantha Stosur of Australia.
