Murray has had a busy weekend, winning two matches in mixed doubles on Saturday with Laura Robson and they will play the mixed doubles final after the men's final, against Victoria Azarenka and Max Mirinyi of Belarus. Federer is trying to complete the Golden Slam, and join Andre Agassi, Steffi Graf, Rafael Nadal and Serena Williams as the only players to do so.
Silver: Track & Field - Men's 100 Meters - 4:50p.m. (NBC Prime Time). On what has proven to be a fast track in London, a great field will assemble to assault the world record and claim the title of world's fastest man.

Blake defeated Bolt at the Jamaican trials in both the 100 and 200 and is considered the favorite. Three former world record holders will challenge for the podium: Asafa Powell of Jamaica and Americans Tyson Gay and Justin Gatlin, the 2004 Olympic champion.
