Andy Murray was fifth time lucky... winning his first grand slam title playing in his fifth finals at a grand slam.

Britain's Andy Murray beat Serbian Novak Djokovic in a gruelling 5-setter to clinch his first grandslam at the US Open 2012 championships. Murray outlasted defending champion Djokovic 7-6 (10), 7-5, 2-6, 3-6, 6-2 after nearly five hours to become the first British man to win a Grand Slam title since Fred Perry captured the Wimbledon and the U.S. Championships in 1936.  Wimbledon 2013 waiting??

With his grand slam winning credentials put to rest, Murray will be looking to add more to his collection. 

2012 Australian Open Champion - Novak Djokovic
2012 French Open Champion      -  Rafael Nadal
2012 Wimbledon Champion         -  Roger Federer
2012 US Open Champion            -  Andy Murray
