Andy Murray V Novak Djokovic US Open Final 2012

[Ninja Elephant]

Stayed up for the whole thing AND managed to wake up in time to trundle off to work. Jolly good show.

Can't believe he did it, to lose those two sets in a row in the manner he did and still have the stones to win the 5th set is remarkable mental strength.

I just voted for Murray to win in the poll

Get in Murray, delighted for the fella

Murray owes me a fee. Watched the first 2 sets, thought he had it in the bag. Went to bed, could'nt sleep so turned on T.V. By then it was 2 sets all.

Final set Murray gets his mojo back and wins superbly. All down to my viewing presence and I'll accept 10% of the match winnings!

Well done Andy.

 

[BLOCK F]

Brilliant.So pleased for him!

 

[Herne Hill Seagull]

I have not been the man's biggest fan but his talent is absolutely unarguable, and winning a Grand Slam simply cannot be dismissed as an achievement, particularly in this era of tennis.

Congratulations to the bloke. Now he's got the hardest one won, perhaps he can go on to win a few more.

Went to bed after Murray was broken in the first game of the 4th set. I thought there was only going to be one winner from there. Was chuffed when I switched on the tv this morning to see that he had won.

 

[Gazwag]

I'm glad he won his first against Djok none of the other top three can say they won their first grand slam against another grand slam winner

Who was also the defending champion.

 

[Badger]

Well done Andy.

Although that is a pub quiz question that can no longer be asked.

Went to bed at midnight but recorded the rest using Sky plus, at 5-2 in the deciding set the recording finished - had to wait until the highlights come on at 9AM whilst try to avoid finding out the result.

Of course, Great British Sportsman that he is.

You don't have to like him, but I would think it's difficult not to repsect his ability now, at least.

That was a long night.....I lasted until 12.45 and then went back down to watch the tennis.

Djokovic.

Oops. Sorry, misread, for a question "who was the defending champion". Meh

 

[HovaGirl]

One of the best matches I've seen in the last 50 years.

 

[Mellotron]

So, so, SO deserved. They made a good point during the game last night: Djok, Nadal and Fed's first grand slams final wins came all against opponents who hadn't won a Slam before. Murray's NEVER had that opportunity.

He's a fantastic player in an era full of some of the best players ever. If Murray was around in Henman's time he would have multiple grand slams by now, some of his tennis last night was out of this world. Great match.
