My father and I have been arguing about this. I think the occasion will overwhelm Murray, but my father thinks he'll rise to the occasion. Any opinions?

Just as I suspected, Murray is not playing with the energy, confidence or intelligence to pull it off. By all estimation, Murray should have won the second set and now he's down in the third. It's a disappointment. It should've been Nadal in the final.
This reminds me of when Hewitt won against Sampras who had just come off that epic 4 Tie Break Sets battle with Agassi. By time Sampras made it to the Finals, he was spent and Hewitt capitalized. If Sampras hadn't met Agassi in that Qtrs Pete would have 15 Slam Titles now instead of 14.
It was a let down watching Murray, especially in the 2nd set where he had the break, but failed to challenge the call and lost the game. Murray looked tired and out of it, despite the many opportunities in the 2nd set.
