Roger Federer vs. Andy Murray US Open 2008 Betting Odds Preview: Andy Murray was able to do the impossible in last night’s U.S. Open 2008 semi-final (continuation) match against No. 1 seeded, Rafael Nadal . For the first time in his already illustrious career, the Spaniard appeared winded, as his hopes for a first Flushing Meadows Open finals, faded. Tonight, Andy Murray will face the world’s No. 2 seed, Roger Federer, under the bright lights of New York in primetime on CBS.

At BodogLife.com, Roger Federer is an overwhelming -200 U.S. Open 2008 betting odds favorite against betting underdog Andy Murray (+150).

Against Nadal, Murray had such great control of every point, as he dictated the pace and rhythm of the match. It was so evident that, even against a guy who couldn’t be in better physical shape as Rafa is, couldn’t keep up.

However, there’s very little time for Murray to celebrate his victory over the world’s best, as now he gets the second world best in the finals. But if there’s something the 6th seeded Murray can hang his hat on, is the fact the he owns a winning record (2-1) against the Swiss.

With Nadal out of the way, Federer is looking for his 5th consecutive U.S. Open Championship, but only his first major of the season. Murray understands that well: “He’s got loads of experience in these situations, and it’s something new for me,” Murray said. “I know I’m going to have to play great to have a chance of winning, but I’ve played well the last couple of weeks.”
