Five hours later... we have a U.S. Open champion. Andy Murray made history by becoming the first British tennis player to win a major since Fred Perry in... wait for it... 1936! He added on to that history by winning in the longest Final match in U.S. Open history - 4 hours 54 minutes. We watched every minute of it at GWHQ, and wow. Both players showed amazing skill, endurance, and heart. There were so many highlights to list here; just know that it was a match for the ages. Was rooting for Djokovic personally, but I'm real happy for Andy Murray, who ended his personal Grand Slam drought, winning his first final in five tries. As an added bonus, Kevin Spacey & Sean Connery enjoyed the match too...
Andy Murray (celebrating above) upset Novak Djokovic today in front of his native countrymen, advancing to the Gold Medal Match vs. Roger Federer, who won an epic 4.5 hour match over Juan Martin del Potro today (an Olympic record for longest match). Was pullin' for my boy the Djoker, but it would be cool to see Murray win the Gold in London. Should be a great final on Sunday. Who you got?!
