So I was just going to go to bed about 3 hours ago when the Mr. flicked over to the US Open Final. My husband didn't last the distance, but I'm still here with my (nearly) month old son witnessing history. Well done Andy for being the first Brit since Fred Perry in the black and white pathÉ news era to win a Grand Slam. Team GB still on a roll. What a summer of sport

Feels great, doesn't it Suzy
Wonderful win for Andy Murray. So glad he's got the trophy, and will prove the doubters wrong now
It feels wonderful Katerina I'm a big fan of Djokovic (and Nadal, Federer and tennis in general) but I was willing Andy on tonight and claim him for Britain. He can go back to being just Scottish again next time he loses 
Baby feed, and feel like I've done 5 sets too. Night

I adore tennis too, am so pleased for Andy, he will be number 3 in the world now, and is a much better player than a lot give him credit for.
Night Suzy, hope you get a good night's sleep(well, as good as can be with baby feeds)
I'm delighted.
My Son phoned to tell me. I'm now seeing it on the news.Well done Andy
It is a great feeling wooohooo
Did you see his trainer is Lendl? Don't know if that's true though

It is indeed, he hired him this year. Seems to be paying off for him!
Yes Lendl is part of his training/management team

Didn't know you'd posted^^^ Katerina I agree it is paying off for Andy.I'm so pleased
He was two sets up when I fell asleep. Well done !
How fabulous . I can't believe that I only cancelled Sky Sports two weeks ago - when I went to turn the tennis on it had gone.
I'm so happy for him - an Olympic Gold medal and now his first Grand Slam .............brilliant!!!!
I don't watch tennis but well done to Andy!
Sportsperson of the year is going to be difficult.
