<P> The 2012 US Open Men 's Singles final was the championship tennis match of the Men 's Singles tournament at the 2012 US Open . In the final , Andy Murray defeated defending champion Novak Djokovic 7 -- 6 , 7 -- 5 , 2 -- 6 , 3 -- 6 , 6 -- 2 to win the match . It was the equal - longest US Open men 's final in history , lasting 4 hours and 54 minutes ( equalling the 1988 US Open final played by Ivan Lendl and Mats Wilander ) , and the equal second - longest men 's final in the Open era , only behind the 2012 Australian Open final . By winning the 2012 US Open , Murray became the first British man since Fred Perry in 1936 to win a Grand Slam singles title , and the first British man in the Open Era to do so . The match is a significant part of the rivalry between the two players . This match also marked a milestone for Murray , as it was his 100th match win at a grand slam tournament . </P>
