Murray wins the US Open!
I didn't want to jinx him by saying anything earlier, but Andy Murray has given the UK its first male Grand Slam champion in 76 years, and, incidentally, the first ever for Scotland.
Gripping match, intense, tennis of amazingly high quality especially as it improved over the five sets, high drama all the way.
Wonderful. A great night to be Scottish, I am over the moon.

Re: Murray wins the US Open!
I've never thought of his Scottishness in seeing him as a git. Just a git (albeit a brilliant tennis player) - but on too many occasions a wee bit humouress and too dour. But if you Scots want to own those qualities?
Sorry I couldnae see it. I. bed 2. No Sky TV
Nice to see the UK's summer of sport bookended by a win at the Tour de France (an Englishman) and now this first grand slam win since 1936 (a Scot)..

Re: Murray wins the US Open!
Murray deserved to win, he has been playing outstanding tennis all year, the Olympic title was a major boost to his confidence, but maybe Lendl's determination to clean up the rough parts of Murray's game and be more positive mentally throughout a match is critical in importance. The pressure will now be on him to repeat it. Caps an amazing summer of sport for Britain, football being the obvious loser....for the time being.
