Andy's brother Jamie Murray on Twitter: "Looking forward to watching the final... in the Star Alliance lounge at Heathrow! What am I doing?!"

From Steve, Leeds, via text: "Well, I'm up and ready, Saltire flag flying from my window, let's go Andy, let's go!"

0740: The pubs and hotels of Murray's home town Dunblane - where it's dark and freezing - are opening their doors early so people can watch this match together. Guests at the Dunblane Hotel will get free champagne if the Scot is victorious today. I've already booked my ticket.

It's raining
0736: A little under an hour to go until the final - and it's tipping down in Melbourne, where they've been experiencing electrical storms. That means the roof is on Rod Laver Arena, which experts will tell you might tip the balance slightly further in Roger Federer's favour.

0730: Hello. Here we go again then: one man's battle against the burden of history - and a bloke called Roger Federer. What makes Andy Murray's task so difficult? "He's playing, you know, me," reckons the world number one.
