Can Murray beat Federer in the US Open?

Andy Murray has less than a day to recover from his four-set victory over Rafael Nadal before he takes on Roger Federer in the Scot's first-ever grand slam final. Murray has beaten Federer in the pair's last two matches, with the Swiss going so far as to criticise Murray's technique, claiming he waits for his opponents to make mistakes.

If Murray can retain the calm he displayed in his semi-final clash with Nadal then he could be looking at a landmark win. Then again, after a couple of poor months following his defeat in the Wimbledon final, Federer looks to be getting back to his awesome best. Either way, we're set for a tremendous final, so tell us who you're putting your money on - Murray or Federer?
