If Murray was ever going to win his first slam was always going to be the US
Just seems that this is the slam for people to breakthrough maybe because its end of year and not as much pressure

Looks like he has dropped back to the pack

Well done to Murray. It would've been criminal had he remained slamless. As for the match, the quality lifted after the first 1 and a half sets, but I didn't think it was great overall. Getting a tad bored of these slugfest marathon GS finals though. Fast hard court? Really?
Good result for Fed. 300 weeks in sight and the year-end #1 ranking now up for grabs.

Yep. Murray is no better though whenever he starts losing every part of his body starts hurting.
Nadal & Federer>>>>>>>> Murray & Djokovic cry babies
Anyway great result for Murray he does deserve it as much as I hate 'Great Britain' or whoever the f*** he is representing.
Lol, this is our only saving grace.
I'm not a fan of Murray for his sooking but he deserves it.
Also I kind of wish they had a final set TB just to exemplify how bloody stupid it is.
Amazing thing is with winning the Olympics Murray has pretty much had the best year out of all 4 of them.
This could really propel him forward, I thought it was belief that held him back from winning Wimbledon this year and now I reckon anything is possible for him.
With Federer aging and Djok looking like the level he achieved in 2011 was unsustainable and with big question marks over Nadal's ability to get through a season I wouldn't bet against Murray snaring the number 1 ranking at some point next year, not neccessarily keeping it till the end though.
Also the match up with Nadal is his worst so if he is cooked then this helps him all the more, I mean how many times has Murray been beaten by Nadal in SFs.

Not sure I'd go that far. He hasn't won any 1000 or 500 tournaments.
I'd still say that Federer has had the best year so far. 6 titles including Wimbledon and 3 Masters. Really depends on who has the best indoor season.
FWIW this is the first year since 2003 when there has been 4 different Grand Slam champions.
Yeah I didn't mean the best year in terms of consistent performance, just more that if like me you put a huge emphasis on the GS tournaments to the point where all the others, bar the Olympics, don't mean a great deal then he can look back and say that he's one of 4 blokes that won a GS this year but the Olympics is like the tie breaker that puts him above them.
But point taken Federer has pulled out the more impressive season overall.

Finally, Congrats Andy, well done
Sad but true,
Out of the big 4, Andy is my least favourite. Good for him on winning his first slam which was inevitably coming, however I cannot bare to see him dominate and win a string of slams.

^It´s true but anything can happens
I wonder if the original Nadal fanbois from around here, who suddenly became Djokovic's greatest fans, are now Murray admirers?

Cakewalk draw, Djokovic rolled over in the final. It happens.
