Andy Murray has claimed the first British male Grand Slam title for 76-years in New York beating Novak Djokovic in the US Open final.

The Scot wowed crowed in the largest tennis arena in the world, the Arthur Ashe Stadium, to win 7-6 (12-10) 7-5 2-6 3-6 6-2 in four hours 54 minutes.

Fred Perry was the last player from the UK to take a Grand Slam title, winning in New York exactly 76 years ago.

Murray also reached the Wimbledon final and won Olympic gold this summer.

After the hard fought match Murray said: “When I realised I had won, I was a little bit shocked, I was very relieved and I was very emotional.”

Murray will now move into number three in the world rankings.

He has previously lost his first four Grand Slam finals.
