Robredo is playing good tennis right now. Sure would be helpful for Murray to have that extra hundred points and confidence from finally winning a title this year going into Beijing.

It sure would but at least he has managed to reach a final for the first time this year (even if he only had to play 3 matches to get there). That alone should give him a bit more confidence!

Has Robredo morphed into a Servbot since his 2R scare with Groth? 19 aces in the QFs vs Seppi and 10 more today vs Giraldo!

Should be a good final. Murray needs to start faster.

Good to see Murray taking advantage of a subpar draw to FINALLY reach his first Final in 15 months vs Robredo which isn't going to be easy by the way.

I can't believe Ferrer got beat by Troicki, Victor has only come back from 850 in the world and he's closing in on the top 100...Impressive!

Murray has been very poor this year in giving up serve. It was unforgivable to go 0-40 down at 5-5. That's just not the way to win big matches. I don't see him pulling this one out like yesterday.

He's also very poor at consolidating a break!! Jeez Murray, stop giving away your serve cheaply after you've broken an opponent!!!

Epic tie-break, especially from Murray's side, it's not like Robredo lost those MP's, Murray won them.

SP Murray at 8-7

Typical murray pattern, just like yesterdays match. Play like **** in the first, go life and death to squeak out the second. Go super saijin in the third.

This victory will so much more psychological value for Murray than a 2-2 drubbing would. It's an important step in his rehabilitation.

Bloody Norah! My @rse was twitching like a rabbit's nose in that tiebreak.

Tommy looks done. 4-1 Murray in the third.

Well done Murray. He proved me wrong. Murray was very emotional at the end. A post surgery win. That must be a huge weight off his back - literally and figuratively!! :) Onwards and upwards!

105 points away from 8th in the race to London World Tour Finals.

Beijing next week and Shanghai the week after, easily catch able.

I get home still wasted from an alcohol heavy saturday night and find Murray has won his first title since winning Wimbledon, saving 5 match points in a row and going 6-1 in the decider.

Happy me! :)

Was Murray crying in the end? I didn't see presentation.

It looked as if he might have been but not sure. Both players were clearly done in and Murray must have been overcome with relief at the way the match turned out. He buried his head in his towel for a good few seconds. Nice acceptance speech from him.

BTW, why is it so hot and humid in Shenzhen? After all, summer is at an end and we are almost into autumn. You could see the toll it took on all the players this week!

He did that after the first time he beat Tim Henman! Robredo should be honoured. :lol:

Amazing from Murray! Lets hope he rides this confidence into his next two tournements where the competition will be alot tougher. I feel a little bad for Robredo but thats how tennis is, you need to win the big points and he didnt.
