WE look back at the career of Andy Murray so far as he writes his name into the sporting history books with his historic win at the US Open.
ANDY MURRAY cemented his place in sporting history in the early hours of this morning when he lifted the US Open title after an epic five-set battle with world number two Novak Djokovic.
It came exactly eight years after the 25-year-old Scot first emerged as a serious prospect after lifting the junior title at the same event in New York.
In the intervening years Murray has blasted his way into the world's top four, becoming one of the most prolific winners on the ATP Tour and finishing runner-up in four Major finals before this morning's momentous win at Flushing Meadows.
Murray's victory finally ends any doubts his supporters had over his ability to land one of the sport's big four titles in an era where he has to face three of the best players ever to grace the sport - Djokovic, Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal.
Here we chart in pictures the Dunblane's hero's rise and rise to the top of the tennis tree.
