The Scot produced a stunning display to beat world No1 Rafael Nadal 6-2, 7-6, 4-6, 6-4 in last night's rain-delayed semi-final but insists he won't be satisfied until he has clinched a first major title.

Murray said: "I am delighted to be in my first Slam final but, like I said at the start of the tournament, I want to try to win it. I played well enough to beat the No1 player in the world over two days and I have beaten Roger in the past."

Playing the US Open's first Monday final since 1987, the Scot will try to stop Federer from winning a fifth successive Flushing Meadows crown.

Federer already has 12 Slam titles but has not got one this season and Murray has the edge over him in their previous meetings, having won two out of three.

The Swiss said: "I guess it's less pressure for him to be in the finals here than at Wimbledon. It will be interesting to see how he handles it but I have a feeling he's a guy who plays well on the big occasions. That's why I need to be very, very careful how I play Andy."

Murray, who is hoping to emulate Fred Perry's British triumph at the US Open in 1936, said: "Roger has made the final at Wimbledon, the final of the French Open, the semis of the Australian Open and he's in the final here.

"It's an unbelievable run and I don't understand why everyone thinks he's not playing well.

"He has played unbelievable in the best tournaments."
