Seventy-six Years after Fred Perry
Andy Murray becomes Champion
The wait is over. Seventy-six years after Fred
Perry became the last British man to win a Grand Slam singles title with
his victory just down the road from here at Forest Hills, Andy Murray
achieved his lifetime’s ambition at Flushing Meadows last night when he
won the US Open.
Sean Connery celebrates Andy Murray’s first grand slam win
Actor Sean Connery watched from court side, clapping, yelling and even
fist-pumping each time his fellow Scotsman won a crucial point. Murray
rewarded Connery by eking out a five-set win in nearly five hours, his
long-awaited first grand slam victory after four previous losses in the
final of a major and six in the semifinals.
Connery and the rest of the pro-Murray crowd appeared destined for
heartbreak when Djokovic fought his way out of a two-set hole by
outplaying the frustrated Scotsman in the third and fourth sets. Murray
regained his composure in the fifth set, however, breaking Djokovic
three times in the set for a 6-2 win.
