ATP WORLD CHAMPION - ANDY MURRAY!!!!!!!!!! Beats Nole 6'3, 6'4 to be World #1

[JAMES4578]

Andy in devastating form, pure magical! Djokovic may be struggling somewhat but Andy putting him under so much pressure!

[greatunclebulgaria]

I'm floating.....

me too and no alcohol yet

[Alis]

0-15 - c'mon Andy!!!!!

[Mandiemoo]

I cant describe how I feel. Just got to keep it going. Djokovic could suddenly fire up out of nowhere.

Cmon Muzz!

[-J-]

Close it oot AndyCmon

[roytennisfan]

Cmon Andy df 30-30

[Stell]

A third double fault by Andy.

[Alis]

Rats 30-30 ........... don't let him get a sniff, Andy - c'monnnnnn!!!!!

[Mandiemoo]

Squeaky bum time....

Cmon Muzz!

[Alis]

Break point = Djoko - c'monnnnnn!!!!!

[david1610]

Don't let the tiredness kick in. C'mon Andy!

[Bardot]

Pity but that's what double-breaks are for hopefully. 4-2

[JennieF]

Drat.

[jagmad]

Now break back again

[-J-]

Always a possibility with. Nole
Now break again
Cmon

[Mandiemoo]

Well, good it was the insurance break. Keep it calm.

Cmon Muzz!

[Sallydaisy]

C'mon Muzzah!!!!!!!!!!!!
:swingin:

[roytennisfan]

Broken, dropped a bit, gave a chance 4-2 Cmon Andy break again

[Alis]

Oh ****** - but that's what an insurance break is for. C'mon Andy, just break again!

[david1610]

I am still convinced that Andy has to win this soon as the tiredness is going to kick in! Don't let him back in!
C'mon Andy!

[Bardot]

Djokovic holds to love. 4-3

[roytennisfan]

This is worrying, Novak not missing now, 4-3 massive game this coming up, a must win game I reckon

[-J-]

Biggest game of the match coming up
HOLD
Cmon

[Mandiemoo]

Well, he wasn't going to just lie down. Need a good solid hold now.

Cmon Muzz!

[Bardot]

Who was it that coughed just as Andy was about to serve at 30-15? :grrr:

[Stell]

A Novak fan? Don't throw this one away, Andy.

[LC the fan]

I am shaking, can hardly type this. Such an important game, Novak looked much more like himself that game

[Alis]

C'mon, Andy, safe hold.

[Mandiemoo]

Eek, this feels big.

Cmon Muzz!

[-J-]

Love a rally when Andy and nole are both determined not to miss

[JAMES4578]

Djokovic given bit of a lifeline but certainly finding better form, Andy got to hold firm here at 4-3!

[Alis]

**** we could have done without Novak winning that point - c'mon!!!!!

[david1610]

3/4 first serves maybe!
C'mon Andy!

[-J-]

Few more then please
Cmon

[Alis]

This game is sooooooooooooooooooo important - c'monn!

[JennieF]

Andy must get this done in two sets. :cauldron:

[david1610]

Andy has to keep going for it otherwise Nole will grind him down. C'mon Andy!

[-J-]

Now close it oot
Cmon

[Sallydaisy]

Determined ...

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CxutRm5XgAEYLhR.png

[jagmad]

1-1 on the calls

[Alis]

that was in - what goes around comes around!

[Bardot]

Yes!!! 5-3

[Stell]

5 - 3.

[JennieF]

:phew:

[Sallydaisy]

5-3 Murray ...

[Alis]

Phew - that game was crucial I think. Now a break would do very nicely, Andy.

[-J-]

Now doo him here save oot nerves
Cmon

[roytennisfan]

This is worrying, Novak not missing now, 4-3 massive game this coming up, a must win game I reckon

Great hold after losing 9 consecutive points from 30-0

[Sallydaisy]

Serbian net ...
:hmm:

[Bardot]

Big serving from Djokovic. 5-4

[Mandiemoo]

Oh. Boy.

Cmon Muzz!

[-J-]

Fasten your seatbelts here we go
Cmon

[Sallydaisy]

Andy to serve for it at 5-4.
:sofa::sofa::sofa:

[roytennisfan]

5-4 this is it Cmon Andy serve winners and hold

[murrayfan89]

Come on Andy lets do this. Hopefully minimum drama next game hahahaha.

[clancy]

Has to be now!! Can't watch!

[Alis]

After last night I don't know that I can watch this game. C'mon, Andy, no mistakes - serve it out - you really deserve this!!!!!!

[Stell]

Notes agree with Castle. Four first serves, match won.

[Bardot]

Buckle up everyone. A repeat of the last game against Federer at the 2012 Olympics would be nice. :thumbup:

[JAMES4578]

Andy to serve for it at 5-4 then, done well last service-hopefully takes it here!

[Mandiemoo]

Minimoo enjoying the benefits of Murray on TV - gets to stay up!

Cmon Muzz!

[jagmad]

This is not good for my constitution.
I don't think I have ever felt like this watching our hero before.
:sofa:

[-J-]

Would have taken this scenario getting of week so no fears now

Cmon

[Stell]

Three away.

[Alis]

Don't tighten up - please don't tighten up.

What an amazing man he is! Arise Sir Andy!!!

[mickeypops]

Oh yes oh yes oh yes!

[Stell]

Andy looks tired and stunned.

[Jennan]

Oh my God, how wonderful. So happy:boogie:

[Teresa]

Just caught the last point. How the heck did he manage that. Knocked out Djokovic in straight sets to claim the end of year No 1.

[Mandiemoo]

I didn't think he would be able to do. I hoped & hoped. Amazing.

Cant type anymore!

[Bardot]

Someone find the words, there are none!!!!! :cheer::cheer::cheer::cheer:

[mickeypops]

64 points to 56. A convincing win!!

[david1610]

So proud. And so similar to Wimbledon. Had he been broken, I am not sure what would have happened.
World No. 1 WTF champion.
So proud!
Thank you Andy!

[JennieF]

So humble and cool. Love you Andy!

Well done my hero. I love you.
:dance::worship::worship::worship::worship:

[Bardot]

Multiple presentations about to happen. Novak will be the most gracious loser.

[lynne]

All that work ethic, sacrifice, sportsmanship couldn't happen to a nicer guy Andy Murray, The World Number One!!!...So So Well Deserved, so so Proud!!! :crying::crying:HAPPY TEARS!!!!:thumbup:...Go Enjoy Family Time!!!!





Wonder how RosieBear is!!!!:thumbup::)

[JAMES4578]

Became a bit tight but Andy tremendous in finally sealing the win, well done! Overall it was an amazing and awesome performance! Nothing should be taken away from the achievement even if wasn't Djokovic's best performance as Andy had a lot to with that. So proud of him and who said he would be lacking energy! Found it from somewhere and knew that a quick start was the order of the day.:swingin::swingin::swingin::clap::clap:

[pabbers]

OMG!!! He IS #1!!!

[Alis]

Yep I'm crying

Me too!

[jackie55]

I am so happy, so well deserved, he is a true champion:dance::dance::cheer:

[goldfish]

Unbelievable performance after sch a tough week. What a man. So, so happy for Andy. :jitterbug::jitterbug::yahoo::yahoo::boogie:

[Bardot]

There would be even more noise for Andy if everyone wasn't holding a mobile phone. ;) Great scenes.

[JennieF]

Wow! He really is the best of the best......in the whole wide world!!!!!

[Bardot]

Was that a premature confetti canon emission?

[Stell]

Two beautiful sights as Andy lifts two trophies.

[JennieF]

Nearly bursting with happiness! What a year, what a man!!!!

[JennieF]

I hope he jumps for joy once he's out of the limelight!

[Bardot]

Nice words from both but Crofty should just have given them the mic.

[JennieF]

He looks exhausted. And overwhelmed.

[david1610]

Andy the strategist? Complimenting Nole on holding all slams at the same time? Which triggered Nole's "what's next?" crisis!

[roytennisfan]

Well we all wanted Novak in the final and Andy really did the business, our year end #1 even without points from the Olympics or Davis Cup (he really deserved to be confirmed as yearend #1 before today)

[Alis]

What's left for the naysayers?? He's beaten all the top players on the way to this title!

[jagmad]

Me too!

Still have wet eyes.
You?

[Alis]

Still have wet eyes.
You?

Definitely!

[HoopGirl]

Sooo proud! Soooo happy! Andy Murray! What a guy!

Brilliant Win. Nice to see some of the andy murray forum in the tv crowd shots!

[Alis]

It's great to see the tweets from other players - he's obviously a popular winner.

[jagmad]

Just thought,
I think crofty missed a perfect chance to ask Ivan if he was impressed NOW!

[HenFan]

"All of his critics crawl... All of you suckers bow... If you wanna know any damn thing about tennis, don't go to no tennis experts in Las Vegas, don't go to no Jimmy The Greek. Come to Andy Murray."

LOL, sorry, but knowing how much Andy loves his boxing, somebody had to paraphrase the late great Mr. Ali! ;)

I've literally been SCREAMING at the TV and now have no voice left!! WELL DONE ANDY - THE WORLD NUMBER ONE and - it's now official - ONE OF THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME!!! :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:

Got the recording to watch. Was trying to avoid result but it got ruined. I'm slightly disappointed but also ecstatic. Got to be honest I didn't expect this and certainly not straights after what he's come through. Hero, legend, warrior

Definitely!

[cazza99]

OMG!!! He IS #1!!!

Not only that he will stay there for a minimum of several weeks!!!!!!!! :trophy:

[Golden Lady]

What an amazing day!!! No one deserves this more than Andy Murray, the undisputed WORLD NO 1!!!

[Mandiemoo]

You think it can't get any better, the highs can't get higher then he does something that even you yourself can't believe is possible. No words to do it justice, the fortitude both physically and mentally to push himself harder, to get better, to improve. I said hoped there would be justice in the O2 tonight. I got my wish.

[Bardot]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Cxu4jWrWIAERyw-.jpg

I love the fact that the trophies lack any subtlety at all. They are full on, in your face **** you trophies. Look at me I am the best.

I also loved the look on his face "What - you mean they are both for me?"

I will be honest, I couldn't see him pulling this off. I thought the Raonic match would catch up with him.

[jagmad]

.....................plus a box of Kleenex! What a night!!!! Appreciate it, folks, this is history in the making and well done to all those who were there cheering!

What a win against Nole! What a year! Congratulations to Andy and his achievement! I really wanted Andy to play Nole in finals to confirm his number 1 place. Now, nobody'll be able to tell something "bad" about him^^ :bravo:
Next step: Australian Open please (the 1st he had to win indeed haha) :dance:

He didn't express his joy^^
Did he give a speech? I didn't hear it, except Nole's one, TV ends broadcasting before...

[rouges]

You did it, you did it, you did it so spectacularly as well, while so many gave you little chance. you showed the world today how good you are. Beating # 2/3/4 and the rest. While haters and doubters say oh it doesn't count if you don't beat Nole.:party::party::party::party::party::party::pa rty::party:

[Jane]

I just can't stop smiling!!!! :) :) :)

[cazza99]

What about Sophia???

Maybe she can have the champaigne (when she is older of course ;))

[patlowe]

I'm shouting from the rooftop! And am beyond ecstatic! He's done it...he's just gone and done it!!! Simply speechless! No words to express how amazing Andy Murray is. What a WTF finals we have had and what a tennis fest these last few months. Stunning! I think Andy was secretly storing and reserving his play tonight for when he met Nole! Oh boy folks...I'm so emotional! And I heard you Anna....telling Andy he could do it! He must have heard you! I always knew Andy could easily beat Nole these days, but to do it knackered! What on earth were we worried about! He definitely was in his 'no way I'm going to lose this match' mood! WELL DONE AGAIN OUR #1 HERO. Spoty?
:bravo: :GBflag: :dance: :swingin: :clap: :jitterbug: :trophy: :trophy:

For Nole....:surrender:

All together now... 1.2.3

Andy,

:boogie::party::boogie::party::boogie:

[Teresa]

Mind you there will still be some who say it still doesn't count because he didn't beat the World No 1.........:-)

[HenFan]

This means so much because Andy has been in the shadow of all 3 of the other members of "the big 4" for so long, it would have been easy for him to accept simply being a damn fine player and the best British player for generations - but he has NEVER stopped striving, NEVER stopped working, NEVER stopped improving, and now at long last he stands atop of the mountain as the best in the world, and - I'll say it again for it surely must now be indisputable - one of the greatest of all time! :) :) :)


https://youtu.be/cxOSdIwvwzQ

Watch that video above to see just how far Andy has come - he says in the video his goal is to get into the Top 100 and see how good he can be. Now he has his answer - he can be the best in the world! :yahoo: :yahoo:

Take care... :)

[Sallydaisy]

What's left for the naysayers?? He's beaten all the top players on the way to this title!
If anyone doubted he was worthy of that #1 trophy ...

Beat #2 Djokovic in the Final.
Beat #3 Wawrinka in the RR3 in an epic match setting an ATP tour Final record of 3hrs
Beat #4 Raonic in the Semi-Final in an even more epic match and new record of 3hrs 38mins
Beat #5 Nishikori in the RR2 in an epic match setting an ATP tour Final record of 3hrs 20m
Beat #7 Cilic in the RR1

So here's a message to the Nay-sayers.
"up yours"
:fingersear:

[Alis]

i'm struggling to come down from this high - how must Andy and his family be feeling?

[jagmad]

I always thought the the W orld T our F inals had a very unfortunate Acronym.

But after that WTF performance from Andy I'm lovin it.

[RosieBear]

Wow!! What a night!!! Andy was a man on a mission - that mission being to show the world in no uncertain terms *exactly* who is #1. He had no favours with the groups or the schedule and he did precisely what worlds numbers 1s do - he said no bother, because I'm the best it's about how I play not who I play. Bravo Andy! I wouldn't have it any other way - he came through the tough way then wiped the floor with Novak for good measure. Hope everyone enjoyed tonight (I certainly did, screamed my heart out for Andy), we've just watched the changing of the guard, and boy does Andy deserve to be on top of the world. :trophy::gold::superman::boogie:

And omg, the look on the faces of the 3 Serbian faces sat in front of me was priceless - a mix of nausea, disappointment and fear .:big grin:

Speechless, amazed, over the moon.,...and tearful. What a night !

Ashamed to say that when he took that first set I relaxed thinking 'At least he wont lose in straight sets' Shame on me of little faith !!!
I really thought Milos had taken the fight out of him - so so happy that I, others on this forum and a heap of critics all got it wrong. ANDY IS NUMBER ONE ANDY WON THE WORLD TOUR FINALS :trophy: :trophy:
Almost a repeat of the Wimbledon final at the end there ..phew.

Also congratulations to Judy - two Murray sons at Number One - she must be ecstatic

[Caley Shaun]

I am just wondering, did yesterdays match against Milos maybe force Andy to go for it a bit more and be aggressive and not wanting the rallies to go long?

But it is all positive for future meetings, knowing that he CAN play aggressive against top players and win.

Fantastic from Andy and Jamie, thank god because Scotland football team EMBARRASS me!!

Wow!! What a night!!! Andy was a man on a mission - that mission being to show the world in no uncertain terms *exactly* who is #1. He had no favours with the groups or the schedule and he did precisely what worlds numbers 1s do - he said no bother, because I'm the best it's about how I play not who I play. Bravo Andy! I wouldn't have it any other way - he came through the tough way then wiped the floor with Novak for good measure. Hope everyone enjoyed tonight (I certainly did, screamed my heart out for Andy), we've just watched the changing of the guard, and boy does Andy deserve to be on top of the world. :trophy::gold::superman::boogie:

And omg, the look on the faces of the 3 Serbian faces sat in front of me was priceless - a mix of nausea, disappointment and fear .:big grin:

Glad you had such a great night RB, undoubtedly worth every penny, happy for you and for all of us. You said from the start that it mattered not a jot which group Andy was in...that he was number 1 and would prove it. You were so right

Oh my goodness, what a couple of days!! I am so, so happy right now! He did it, our champion is the world champion! I was literally sobbing when he won. What an amazing, amazing last few months.

RB, I am delighted for you that you we able to be there. Gill and I were there yesterday along with a few more forummers, some of whom stayed on for today's match. Yesterday was the most nerve wracking match I think I have ever seen live. We were wrecks come the end, but celebrated in style last night. I feel privileged to have been there.

And then there was tonight .... Gill and I kept looking at viagogo, debating whether to Buy tickets. It would have been tight with trains and it was a lot of money for the lower tier (we hate the gods). But we should have just gone for it!

[anor]

:gold::gold::gold::cheer::cheer::cheer::clap::clap ::clap: So so proud of Andy, his will to win and his humility when he does it.

[Bardot]

Nice interview with Brad Gilbert on ESPN (https://twitter.com/sluggahjells/status/800438574931988489) who gets more out of Andy than any on Sky. (2 videos)

[Bardot]

Some quotes from Andy's press conference.

I don't think that was one of me and Novak's best matches. The end of the match was exciting. But there were mistakes from both of us. I was solid enough when I needed to be. Tactically, I played a good match. It was a good performance. You don't beat a player like Novak without playing well. It was a big match against someone who I've played so many big matches against. He's my main rival. The 4-1 game was a tough one to lose. I didn't serve my second serve well at all today. He was starting to hit the ball better and get close to the baseline. So that last game was a tough one. I felt tired. I slept well last night but I didn't feel great this morning. I was hitting the ball fine (in practice) but I was just a bit heavy legged. The first 7 games, there were no really long rallies. Which is strange for me and Novak.

I would like to try and stay there (at No.1). It's taken a huge effort to get there. I had a great this year, and only did it by one match. It'll be difficult. I'm motivated to try and stay in that position. It's not so much the ranking, it's everything he's [Novak] achieved. I have massive respect for him as a player. I've won a lot of matches, he's not been playing his best. In the important moments, I was just a bit more solid. When me and Novak speak with each other, we just talk about each other's families and children. We spoke about the difficulty of keeping the balance in your life. Both of us have been with our wives a long time. We've known each other a very long time. We have a good relationship, regardless what some of you may think.

I want to try and achieve as much as I can these next few years. I won't be around forever. Mentally this will give me a boost going into next year again. These next few years, I want to make them the best of my career. The young ones will keep improving, there are some good ones coming through.

This year has been hard in some ways, because of Roger and Rafa missing large parts of the year. The two of them have large fan bases. They're charismatic guys and are very popular. I hope they come back healthy. It (tennis) will be better if they're fit.

Andy on celebrating tonight: You wanting to join again? There's no party tonight. I haven't been home the last few nights. Tomorrow, we'll go out for dinner and maybe see afterwards...

All of the big events I won this year, they're different. The Olympics felt really special. t was a big week for me that one.The Olympics for me in terms of one match was the most special.

[clancy]

I can't help but think how over the ten years that I've supported Andy some of my friends have been quite scathing about him (and that's putting it mildly), which makes tonight all the sweeter!! I'm so grateful to him for the pleasure his wonderful achievements have given me, things I never thought I'd see in my lifetime, and for putting me in contact with such lovely like-minded people on this forum whom I know are as happy as I am right now. Christmas comes early for us all!! x

[Helen40]

I'm sooo glad that my fears weren't realised. I'm so proud of him to have beaten all those top 5 players in a few days, and of course finally Nole.Well done Andy!

[david1610]

This means so much because Andy has been in the shadow of all 3 of the other members of "the big 4" for so long, it would have been easy for him to accept simply being a damn fine player and the best British player for generations - but he has NEVER stopped striving, NEVER stopped working, NEVER stopped improving, and now at long last he stands atop of the mountain as the best in the world, and - I'll say it again for it surely must now be indisputable - one of the greatest of all time! :) :) :)


https://youtu.be/cxOSdIwvwzQ

Watch that video above to see just how far Andy has come - he says in the video his goal is to get into the Top 100 and see how good he can be. Now he has his answer - he can be the best in the world! :yahoo: :yahoo:

Take care... :)
There is also the small matter of the cheque being just over ten thousand dollars and sixty ranking points! ;)

[KnightOwl]

I have to admit, I was worried about this one! Watching Andy's epic against Raonic, and seeing the end of Djokovic against Kei yesterday, I wasn't sure he'd be able to pull it off, but WOW!

So proud of him. Such mental strength today! You could see it meant more to Novak than he was letting on, and I think the nerves got to him a bit, but Andy was so strong he just wasn't going to let it go. Well done, laddie! Great job :clap:

[lovetennis]

Just back at my hotel, and what can I say? It was quite simply amazing. If I'm honest I thought after yesterday's match that Andy would be running on empty today. How wrong could I have been? Andy was simply fantastic. I can't say anymore than that, he was just so so good. The crowd were great and no doubt who most people wanted to win.
Although I was upper tier I had a great view from the front row. I couldn't see Rosie Bear but I definitely heard her - I think I must have been sat above you RB.

I am just ecstatic that Andy is the year end no.1. All the naysayers can just shut up now, he's beaten 5 of the other top 10 players this week alone. Everybody else now knows what we on this forum have known for years, Andy is simply best

[themass15]

Can't believe I was there for the most amazing night of my year!!!!!!!!!

[patlowe]

I think the one word that dominates the posts tonight is 'speechless'! I don't know how I am going to settle myself...still euphoric and ecstatic and almost stunned!

[themass15]

Not sure I will sleep much tonight after all that excitement. So wonderful for Andy after all the hard work he has put in.

[banskogirl]

Perfect, legend, Andy Murray! Take a bow!

[Josephine]

My gast has never been so flabbered!!

I admit I had doubts after yesterday, but as Andy said in his Sky interview afterwards -he had doubts about his fitness - so I am in good company!!

Unbelievable, amazing, wonderful and so well deserved! :clap::clap::boogie::boogie::gold:

Well done to the optimists who believed and hope everyone who was there had a ball!

Still remember tears and misery after 2010 Oz Open final when it seemed Andy might stay plucky runner-up. NO MORE!

No 1 IN THE WORLD

Just watching and Andy has been brilliant, great aggression but Nole has been woeful. How he's got to the final playing that dross I don't know. Nishikori needs to have a look at himself losing 1&1 to that.

[supergran]

Absolutely thrilled beyond words as most of us are. He played a magnificent match and after the first set I was euphoric and very optimistic. We have had so many wonderful moments with Andy but this tops the lot to date. Still can't believe it. I really don't know how be does it but if he keeps on doing it we have more joy, pride and gratitude to come. Well done everyone for loyal support on here and at tournaments throughout the year. Andy has made this rather stressed out lady very happy today.

[WimbledonWestie]

Who knew an airport departure lounge could be such an exciting place! Everyone crowded round the TVs and clapping and cheering Andy all through the match. Grateful thanks to BA for the flight delay- it meant I saw the whole match plus trophy presentation. What a weekend!

[RosieBear]

Break point for Andy.

I think none of their first sets have ever gone to a tie break. Am I right?

Oooh Stell, just a wee first set tb at the USO 2012.....but you knew that, heat of the moment was getting to you.

Sky sports news did a homage to Andy last night.

[sir coolerking]

Slightly late onto this as I tend not to open up the computer at weekends. But spent a lot of time in the company of Andy and the telly, and what a rewarding time it was. Still can't get over how he played against Novak after the Roanic marathon.

There are still a lot of scathers out there if my facebook timeline is anything to go by. But the fact he's featuring so strongly on it says plenty too. People I thought had zero interest in tennis are mentioning him and recognising him now for what he is - Number 1 in the world!!

My favourite quote from Guardian comments

I am sure everyone is aware that on half of all medieval maps Ireland and Scotland were the same place and vice versa on the other half. Good, glad we are one on that! Thus Murray can safely be said to be the greatest Irish tennis champion since John McEnroe... Britain eat your heart out! ;)

[lovetennis]

By the way, it was very nice of the ATP to address their advert for their new app directly to me. At changeovers they played the advert a few times, it started with "Love tennis? get the new ATP app..." Really they didn't need to that just for me ;)

[pabbers]

Well I'm still grinning from ear to ear this morning. And I think RB has said it already really but I'll say it in my own words:

He HAD to beat Nole, not just to retain #1 but to prove he'd deserved to be there in the first place and it wasn't just a fluke.

Well he did it, ok against a below par Nole, BUT.........did Nole take him to a tiebreaker? No. Did Nole take a set off him? No. Did Nole get close in any set? No. So Andy not only beat him, he beat him in the manner in which the world #1 SHOULD beat a below par world #2! AND when physically and mentally exhausted.

Just WOWWWWW!!! What a man.

[hfwardhouse]

Still smiling this morning - what a wonderful journey we've been on the last 10 years - we always knew Andy would get to this point and so what if it took longer than we expected - we've been in the best era tennis has ever had and Andy has had to overcome some incredible players over the years in this journey - this week was a case in point - overcoming the no 2, 3, 4, 5 and 7 en route to the title. Novak had an easy run to the final in comparison ...

So unbelievably proud of our boy.

[Jan62]

Love reading all your comments on here! What a match. I have to admit to being a bit nervous beforehand, like many others, just because of how much that Raonic match had taken out of him (and us - I was a wreck at the end of that one!). But from the very first point you could see he meant business and there was no way Nole was getting the better of him this time. In Andy's own words "I have a ***** big heart". Can't argue with that. What a wonderful year it has been for Andy and for us, finally all the pieces are falling in to place.

I've also loved seeing all the messages from other tennis players, past and present, and other sports stars congratulating Andy. I think it shows how highly he's thought of amongst his peers, a true measure of the man. Of course we've all known it for years and years but finally it seems the rest of the world is catching on :)

Cheers Andy, for shining a bright light on this crazy turbulent year, for giving us all so much to cheer and even more to look forward to in 2017.

[Stell]

I know we would all love to see Andy get a knighthood. But, there must be a cut off date for the letters to be sent out by.

[Teresa]

I know we would all love to see Andy get a knighthood. But, there must be a cut off date for the letters to be sent out by.


He will get one. He assured that, the moment Djokovic netted that ball at Wimbledon in 2013. It's just a matter of when.

[LC the fan]

I am still in lala land and trying to read every paper on the stands. Just so excited about Andy's amazing achievements. The only negative is that.....there's no tennis to plan my days around for a few weeks. Will feel a bit flat before long.
But am being constantly cheered by all my associates who had teased me about Andy 'lagging at the bottom of the four' up till now today saying ' Well Done, he was great - you always believed in him' . So satisfying! Bet its happening to a lot of you.

So now we go into Andy-free weeks and can only wish him a great rest, and some special time with his family and true friends

[patlowe]

Really hard to come down to earth! And really hard not having tennis to watch, though I think after last week, it would be hard to replace the level of tennis we've been watching and become used to....for the moment anyway. But it's good to know that Andy can now have a very well earned and deserved rest. I have been lapping up all the reports and interviews etc I can find...can't get enough! But worried I am becoming a basket case!...every interview, tweet and accolade which dwells on how phenomenal Andy is and esp on how hard he works really makes me very emotional...I just well up. Maybe it's simply cos I am so proud of him! Glad I have supported him from the very beginning, great reward for doing so and can't be accused of jumping on the bandwagon!

I feel so privileged to have gone on Andy's wonderful journey and so proud of all he has achieved. This one has made me more emotional than all his other great wins. When he got there a few weeks ago there were still people saying he didn't deserve it. Silly idiots. Don't they know never to doubt our Andy as he will just prove you wrong haha!

I love that he and Jamie at the top together. A bit more Murray history. Others may have won few more slams but Andy and Jamie make their own unique history and I for one love that far more than just a number.

What a humble, modest, lovely, hard working, gutsy, talented, utterly unique and every other superlative you can think of, champ we have. We are so very lucky to have him and I've enjoyed every moment so far. Can't wait for the next Murray chapter of sporting (and all round) greatness.

Getting emotional again so I'm off to do the ironing!

6, 5, 4, 3, 2, #1. Andy knocked them down like skittles winning 10 sets and losing only 2. A demolition job of the best of the rest. :worship:

Wonderful to express it this way with the new rankings! I wonder if anybody has ever done that before at the WTF.

Simply amazing. I have to admit that I missed the final point of the match because I had to close my eyes - I never normally do that, but I felt that if he didn't take it then, Djoko would end up winning - so I couldn't bear to watch.

I'm definitely having withdrawal symptoms. I've already watched last night's match through again, now thinking of watching a recording of Wimbledon. Roll on the Oz Open!
