And 76 years later ....

Post by Andrew D »

A British man wins a Grand Slam event!

Andy Murray beats Novak Djokovic in a tremendous five-setter. Not since Fred Perry beat Don Budge at the (then) U.S. Championships in 1936 -- how fitting.

Agreed. Too bad I (and most others) missed out on the match because of this work thing.

What an incredible, physical, enthralling match. I didn't think Murray had it in him, to come back after Djokovic demolished him in the third and fourth sets -- although there were some incredible points played in those games. Well done, you!

And Long Run - come east, we got to see most of it, and didn't even have to skip (much) work :mrgreen:
