    "Murray has beaten Anderson three times in the last year, including a very impressive performance at Wimbledon, and his returning game would seem the perfect antidote to the rash of aces that usually fly off Anderson's racquet.

    "It's tough because I feel like he gives me the opportunity to play a little bit, but he just counter punches so well. He just gets so many balls back," the South African said of taking on Murray."

    Kevin 'Big Kev' Anderson is a tennis monster at 6'8''.

    Without wanting to make out he's one dimensional, the obvious weapon of the South African is his serve.

    He's banged down 96 aces across his four matches at Queen's so far, including a whopping 34 in his semi-final win over Gilles Simon yesterday.

    French Open champion Stan Wawrinka had no answer to Big Kev's bombs in the second round. Andy Murray is one of the best returners in the world - he'll need every bit of that this afternoon.

    "Murray is so eager and sharp, he loves being back in Britain and playing at home, and as he's been tested as the matches have got tougher he's got even more focused. He loves playing in front of crowds like this."

    Both players come onto the court with children from the Royal Marsden Charity and the Elena Baltacha Foundation. Both of the lads have smiles the size of West Kensington - and they're pretty relaxed. Lovely stuff.

    "With two hours of precision refuelling, careful stretching and tactical discussion behind us, we are ready to go. Let's hope the players have been similarly professional, albeit it with fewer scones.

    "Tom Daley is the latest famous name to grace the Queen's Club and the sun is shining for the final."

    Success for Roger Federer this afternoon.

    The Swiss has won a record eighth title at Halle in Germany - that's 86 career titles now. Which is frankly ridiculous.

    The world number two overcame Andreas Seppi 7-6 6-4.

  10. Double duty Murraypublished at 14:24 British Summer Time 21 June 2015

    Murray had to finish his second set against Viktor Troicki this morning and has had two hours' rest before coming out to face Kevin Anderson.

    Anderson will be fresh, having gone through yesterday.

    Murray has already won twice in a day this year though, seeing off Lukas Rosol and Roberto Bautista Agut in Munich last month. So it's no big deal.

    Just like Murray, I'm off for a rub down from my physio, before returning in a couple of hours.

    Andy Griot: Gonna be an interesting final. Murray will win the rallies but Anderson will hold his service games no doubt.

    Jackie Grant: Not going to be pretty final with Anderson's hard shots. Have never seen them play before, betting on Andy win

    cv: YES!!! Now I have to get all the days jobs done in two hours so that I'm free to watch the final

    "Kevin Anderson might be a little bit more powerful on serve but there will be a number of back-court rallies and that favours Andy Murray simply because he gets so many balls in."

  16. Physio, food, showerpublished at 12:22 British Summer Time 21 June 2015

    Andy Murray tells BBC Sport what he will do now before this afternoon's final against big-serving Kevin Anderson.

    "I'll see my physio, get stretched out, get some food and shower. I enjoy playing big servers, but my return has always been the strongest part of my game."

  17. Game, set and matchpublished at 12:17 British Summer Time 21 June 2015

    What a point to finish on. Murray scampering here there and everywhere. In at the net, now chasing a lob. He gets there and also gets back an overhead. Troicki eventually finds the net and it's the final for Murray.

    Murray steps in to hit a soft return but crashes it long. Wasted chance. A Troicki return goes long though, so Murray stays in front.

  19. Tie-breakpublished at 12:14 British Summer Time 21 June 2015

    We go to 3-2 off the Murray serve. And now four straight points for Murray put him in control. But a whipped backhand is just a tad wide.

  20. Tie-breakpublished at 12:11 British Summer Time 21 June 2015

    Murray is broken on his single serve from the off, but hits back when Troicki drags wide. And now Murray in front, as Troicki pops a backhand into the net.
