With Rafael Nadal's defeat to Juan Martin Del Potro on Friday in the Quarter Finals of the Rogers Cup ATP 1000 Montreal Masters and thus loss of his title and the subsequent progression of Andy Murray to the final of the tournament for the first time in his career the British number one will move to the world number two spot.
Fuck Yeah!
The final will take place tonight and Murray's oppopnent will be none other than Nadals conqueror, Del Potro himself. Murray has the edge in the head-to-head (3-1) although Del Potro does have the most recent victory. Murray has been displaying the best form of his career this past week, so you've really got to like his chances - yet to drop a set this tournament and only two games against his serve - pretty impressive performance (except that 1st serve percentage). It'd be foolish to count Del Potro out though, he's an extremely talented player with plenty of titles in his future. A win tonight would see Del Potro take the no 5 spot from Andy Roddick - mixed feelings on that, Roddick has been playing really well lately and sliding backwards in the rankings won't feel great for him, but Del Potro really deserves to go up... we'll just have to see what happens.
The final is due to start at 6.30pm British time, I suggest you find somewhere to watch.
