The censors here are hilarious sometimes
 Great final - saw that result coming from a mile off though (albeit not quite as drawn out as it was). It's a shame about Murray, but he'll be back. The way I see it Federer would've wiped the floor with him anyway. |

BUMP!
Just in case anyone here watches tennis, which is the only sport I give two ****s about. Wanna give Murray props for winning the US Open yesterday. Amazing match. I thought Djokovic was about to pull out another amazing comeback, but Murray finally got the better of his nerves in the fifth set and got his first Grand Slam.

Murray was world #3 before play yesterday.
He's been an underdog for some time now, I guess you could say. Technically good enough to beat anybody on his day but with a tendency to choke in high pressure, high profile situations. For a while yesterday he was looking as though he was going to do the same, and throw away a 2-0 advantage. Thankfully he rallied. I'm happy for Andy Murray. The third and fourth sets were a little worrying from his point of view but he made Djokovic work so hard, even to hold when his back was against the wall, and at times simply outclassed him. If it wasn't for a certain Bradley Wiggins I think Andy Murray would be on course to be our greatest sports personality of this year, after a Wimbledon final with Federer in which he performed incredibly well and came agonisingly close to winning his first Grand Slam, getting his revenge by beating Federer in straight sets and winning an Olympic gold and silver just weeks later, and now finally a Grand Slam title. It was such a great final. I stayed up until 2:15am this morning to watch it, even though my alarm was set for 6:30. |

 ). I was definitely worried that Djokovic was gonna pull another come back, especially after that match with Federer, which I believe was the last US Open. Same thing, two sets down, and then he just dominated Federer after that like nothing at all bad had happened to him the two previous sets. The man is an unstoppable robot when he's playing his best.
