    When it comes to tennis, few players have captured the hearts of fans quite like Andy Murray. Here's a review of just five of his most memorable matches.

    1. 2012 US Open Final (vs Djokovic) – 7–6(12–10), 7–5, 2–6, 3–6, 6–2

    Murray took a gruelling 87-minute opening set in a 12–10 tiebreak and edged the second with a late break. Djokovic stormed back, dominating the third and fourth with aggressive baseline play. In the fifth, Murray reset mentally, broke early, and stayed in control to win after nearly five hours—claiming his first Grand Slam title and ending Britain’s 76-year wait for a US Open champion.

    2. 2013 Wimbledon Final (vs Djokovic) – 6–4, 7–5, 6–4

    Murray broke early to take the first set, then recovered from 1–4 down in the second with five straight games. The third set ended in a tense 12-minute final game where Murray saved break points and converted his fourth championship point. The win made him the first British man since 1936 to lift the Wimbledon trophy.

    3. 2016 ATP Finals (vs Djokovic) – 6–3, 6–4

    With the year-end No. 1 ranking at stake, Murray stepped up with a clean, confident performance. He broke Djokovic early in both sets and controlled the rallies with depth and variation. The straight-sets win capped his strongest season and confirmed his place at the top of the sport.

    4. 2015 Davis Cup Final (vs David Goffin) – 6–3, 7–5, 6–2

    Murray led Great Britain through the tournament with an unbeaten singles record. In the final, he handled Goffin with smart point construction and well-timed aggression. After a tight second set, Murray closed the third with a signature lob to seal the win and deliver Britain’s first Davis Cup title in 79 years.

    5. 2019 European Open Final (vs Stan Wawrinka) – 3–6, 6–4, 6–4

    After hip resurfacing surgery, expectations were low—but Murray returned with a gritty performance. Wawrinka started strong, but Murray changed the pace, extended rallies, and played the big points better. He broke once in each of the last two sets to win his first title since 2017, completing one of the sport’s most unlikely comebacks.
