US Open: Updates and Live Blog (Sort Of)

9:02 pm: AS I SPEAK, ANDY MURRAY IS WINNING 5-2 IN THE FIFTH SET. HE IS 3 POINTS AWAY FROM WINNING HIS FIRST GRANDSLAM.
It's been a 5 hour long match. They are mentally and physically putting it all out there to play their best.  And here we go, Murray has triple match point for his first grand slam. Unbelievable. He's really nervous. Goodness, the atmosphere is just buzzing. And Murray finally wins as Novak hits the ball long. GREAT BRITAIN HAS HAD A MAGNIFICENT YEAR IN TENNIS.
This is a definitely a breakthrough in his career that has always been in the shadow of "the big three." What a journey for him. He finally won the first of the five grandslam finals he's been in. Novak Djokovic must be feeling disappointed in himself, but I'm sure they will have an amazing rivalry in the future.
9:09 pm: Novak speaks about how "Andy absolutely deserves it." He's obviously unhappy with himself because he put everything into the match. You have to feel for him. Really, I don't think he wants to talk anymore with Mary Carillo, please let him go. He can do it next year.
9:11 pm: Andy Murray is up to speak with him mother looking proudly on. He says he "doesn't know how he managed to get through." And did we just see Ivan Lendl smile? I believe tears of joy  may begin to show? And I think he's too tired to be completely ecstatic.

tl;dr: Andy Murray wins the US Open and Novak is not too happy about it.
