Murray defeated Novak Djokovic in an epic five-set US Open final, joining Juan Martin del Potro (2009 US Open) as the only players to break the Grand Slam dominance of Djokovic, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal who have won 29 of the past 31 majors.
Murray who needed six set points to win a 24 minute first-set tie-break 12-10, broke through for his first major title in his fifth Grand Slam final with a 7-6(10), 7-5, 2-6, 3-6, 6-2 victory over Djokovic. At 4 hours and 54 minutes, the match equaled the longest US Open final in history!
