And we have two winners.

Yes they did.

The asterisks are for
(*Wimbledons, others did not exist)
(**US, others did not exist because of the Great War)
(***US, others not held because of WWII)

That is if he wins, he still needs to get past Djokovic, who is in his prime and playing on his best surface.

Murray is also in his prime and is the last person to win a slam on hard courts.

It is game on! Looking forward to a good final.
