"Andy Murray has won the US Open at Flushing Meadows, New York, beating Novak Djokovic in a five-set thriller. The victory finally handed the Scot his first Grand Slam title, having previously reached four finals before last night&amp;#039;s contest. Murray, who won gold in the Olympic men&amp;#039;s singles tournament earlier this summer, defeated Djokovic 7-6 (12-10) 7-5 2-6 3-6 6-2 in a match lasting four hours 54 minutes in the Arthur Ashe Stadium.  He ends Britain&amp;#039;s 76-year wait to find a Grand Slam champion, after Fred Perry last won a title in 1936. Sir Sean Connery, Sir Alex Ferguson, Kevin Spacey and Sir Patrick Stewart were among the celebrities who watched the final inside the stadium last night. With Murray finishing his match after 2am UK time, he has since been congratulated by various celebrities and sports stars.
