U.S. Open Results 2012: Andy Murray Captures 1st Major With 5-Set Win Over Novak Djokovic

Andy Murray captured his first ever Grand Slam on Monday night, defeating Novak Djokovic, 7-6, 7-5, 2-6, 3-6, 6-2 to win the 2012 U.S. Open at Arthur Ashe Stadium. After a heartbreaking loss at Wimbledon, Murray responded with a strong tournament in Flushing, N.Y., to become the first British male to win a major in 76 years.

Murray won the first set, 7-5, including 12-10 in the tiebreaker. Both players committed 19 unforced errors during the first set, with Murray holding an advantage in first-serve percentage (68 to 59 percent) and second-serve points won (57 to 37 percent).

The second set was also tightly contested, with Murray winning, 7-5. The two players were close on first-serve percentage, with Djokovic holding a slight 74 to 71 percent advantage. The major difference in the second set was on unforced errors, with Djokovic committing 19 to Muray's nine.

Djokovic cut into Murray's lead with a 6-2 win in the third set. After committing 19 unforced errors in both the first and second sets, Djokovic committed just six in the third set. He also won 54 percent of his second serve points, a major improvement over the 37 and 22 percent he won in the first two sets.

The No. 2 and defending champ then evened things up in the fourth set, getting the break and capturing a 6-3 set win. Djokovic converted three aces and blasted 13 winners as he found that remarkable reserve of energy to force the fifth and decisive set.

But Murray would quickly respond and break Djokovick in the first game of the fifth set, reclaiming the momentum. The young Scot quickly went up 3-0 and swung the crowd in his favor as he took a commanding advantage. But Djokovic was undeterred, quickly taking the next two games to get back in it.

At 4-2, Murray got his third break of the fifth set when Djokovic started experiencing some leg issues while on serve. He kept stretching out in between every point and got some medical treatment during the change-over. Murray would then clean it up in the final game, holding serve to take the fifth set as the match nearly hit the five-hour mark.

Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray face off in the 2012 U.S. Open on Monday in the men's final, as the two close out more than two weeks of action from the season's final Grand Slam event with their much-anticipated showdown.

Djokovic and Murray both advanced to the finals with four-set victories in the semifinals. Djokovic had to withstand a two-day match, extended because of weather delays — delays that also extended the U.S. Open beyond its normal 14-day schedule.

The 4 p.m. final is the 15th time the two will meet as professionals. Djokovic holds the all-time advantage between the two overall, with an 8-6 record against Murray, but the two have split their 10 meetings on hard courts, 5-5.

The match will begin at 4 p.m. and be available live on CBS. You can also check out U.S. Open Live for streaming coverage and additional statistics.

U.S. Open 2012: Serena Williams Defeats Victoria Azarenka For Women's Title

The extra day's wait for the women's singles final of the 2012 U.S. Open turned out to be well worth it, as Serena Williams won her fourth U.S. Open title and her 15th overall Grand Slam singles crown with a 6-2, 2-6, 7-5 win over the tournament's No. 1 seed, Victoria Azarenka.

Playing in the Sunday late afternoon spot normally reserved for the men's final, Williams and Azarekna wrapped up the first and second sets by identical scores in 34 and 38 minutes, respectively, before embarking on a 66-minute third set worthy of a Grand Slam final.

Azarenka picked up an early break in the third set and served for the championship at 5-4, but Williams broke the Belorussian and won the next two games to cap a wonderful summer in which she also won Wimbledon and singles and doubles gold medals (the latter with her elder sister Venus) at the 2012 London Olympics.

Also on Sunday, Novak Djokovic booked a place opposite Andy Murray in Monday's men's final, finishing off a 2-6, 6-1, 6-4, 6-2 win over David Ferrer in a semifinal match that had been suspended Saturday due to bad weather in the New York City area.

Finally in Sunday's action, the Italian duo of Sara Errani and Roberta Vinci took home the women's doubles title, defeating the Czech team of Andrea Hlavackova and Lucie Hradecka 6-4, 6-2.

Saturday's inclement weather has moved the 2012 U.S. Open women's singles final between Serena Williams and Victoria Azarenka, initially scheduled for Saturday afternoon, to Sunday. The two will face off for the championship at 4:30 p.m. ET at New York's Arthur Ashe Stadium. Also postponed to Sunday is the continuation of a men's semifinal match Novak Djokovic and David Ferrer, which was also delayed due to Saturday's storms.

The winner of the Djokovic/Ferrer match will face Olympic gold medalist Andy Murray in the men's championship match.

Djokovic and Ferrer are scheduled to resume play on the main court at 11 a.m. ET. At the time of the match's postponement, Ferrer was leading the first set, 5-2. If Djokovic were to win, it would be his second straight appearance in the finals of the U.S. Open Championships. Ferrer, on the other hand, has yet to appear in a Grand Slam final.

Following that match, the women's final will begin. It is currently scheduled for no earlier than 4:30 p.m. Azarenka, the current No. 1 women's player in the world, aims to win her second ever Grand Slam tournament after claiming her first at this year's Australian Open. If Williams were to win, it would mark her 15th Grand Slam title.

The men's semifinal match will be broadcast on ESPN2. The women's final will be broadcast on CBS. All matches can be streamed online at USOpen.org.

U.S. Open 2012 Scores: Andy Murray Defeats Tomas Berdych To Advance To Men's Final

Saturday play at the U.S. Open was hampered by some severe weather, but Britain's Andy Murray outlasted the elements and Tomas Berdych to advance to the men's final at the 2012 U.S. Open. It will be the fifth Grand Slam final appearance of Murray's career.

Murray advanced 5-7, 6-2, 6-1, 7-6 (7) over Berdych in a rain-delayed match that took three hours and 58 minutes. Berdych was more distracted by the environment, committing a whopping 64 unforced errors to just 20 for Murray.

The 2012 Open is the first major championship since the 2004 French to not have Roger Federer or Rafael Nadal competing in the semifinals. Murray will face the winner of Saturday's second semifinal match between Novak Djokovic and David Ferrer. No Brit has won a Grand Slam in the past 76 years.

Day 14 at the 2012 U.S. Open will feature three matches at Arthur Ashe Stadium, including two men's semifinal clashes and the women's final. Andy Murray will face Tomas Berdych in the first match of the day at 11 a.m. ET. Murray is still searching for his first slam win, but is coming off a strong gold-medal showing at the All-England Club last month. Berdych pulled off the upset of Roger Federer in the quarters and also boasts a successful career record against the favored Murray.

Novak Djokovic will take the court in the second men's semifinal on Ashe. He'll have to get by Spaniard David Ferrer if he wants a date in the final. Djokovic was challenged by Juan Martin Del Potro in his last match, but still moved through in straight sets. Ferrer, on the other hand, had an all-out five-set war with Janko Tipsarevic and could face fatigue issues against the defending U.S. Open champion.

Finally, the women will take center stage for the final between Serena Williams and No. 1 Victoria Azarenka. Serena has yet to drop a set, but Azarenka is also playing some of the best tennis of her career. Williams has overwhelmed her opponents to date but she can't afford any lapses as she goes for her second slam of the summer. Their match is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET.

CBS will carry coverage of all three matches, beginning at 11 a.m. ET with the first men's semifinal.

U.S. Open 2012 Tennis Scores: Novak Djokovic Defeats Juan Martin Del Potro, Advances To Semis

Novak Djokovic advanced to the men's semifinals of the 2012 U.S. Open late Thursday night with a 6-2, 7-6, 6-4 win over Juan Martin Del Potro. Djokovic has not faced much resistance so far in Flushing, but the second set against Del Potro, the 2009 winner, provided a true test and was an excellent display on both sides. It featured one 17-minute game but the defending champ Djokovic eventually took the set in a tiebreak, and then moved on in the third. He finished with 43 winners and 28 unforced errors. While he hasn't matched the stirring season of 2011, Djokovic is pushing towards his second major win of the season.

The No. 2 Djokovic will now face David Ferrer, who expended all his energy in a five-set war with Janko Tipsarevic. Ferrer is a top-notch player but has struggled at times to compete with the elite players in the game. The Spaniard will certainly need to rest up after today's interminable battle with Tipsarevic.

Matkowski and Peschkee won the first set, before Makarova and Soares cruised in the second to force a super tiebreak. Makarova and Soares won the super tiebreak, 12-10, to cap an improbable run.

The two winners signed up for the tournament just minutes before the deadline and were unseeded.

U.S. Open 2012 Tennis Scores: Serena Williams, Roger Federer, Mardy Fish Advance

As the second round of the U.S. Open enters primetime on Thursday night, many big names including Serena Williams and Roger Federer have already punched their ticket to the next stage.

Williams, No. 4 in the tournament, wrapped up her match against Spaniard Maria Jose Martinez Sanchez in straight sets, 6-2, 6-4, earlier Thursday afternoon, blasting 11 aces and 32 winners past Martinez Sanchez.

Top-ranked Federer dispatched his opponent, German Bjorn Phau, in a smooth straight set victory, 6-2, 6-3, 6-2. The longest set, the first, lasted 32 minutes, with the second and third wrapping up in 29 minutes each, respectively.

Federer was in control for much of the match, slicing 15 aces, but Phau didn't help his own cause either, committing seven double faults to go along with 17 unforced errors.

No. 23 Fish, however, didn't have such an easy time en route to a victory. After dropping the first two sets 6-4 and 7-6(7-4), the American rallied to defeat Nikolay Davydenko in the final three sets, 6-2, 6-1, 6-2.

The first two sets lasted nearly an hour each, while the final three flew by relatively quickly at 28, 30 and 39 minutes apiece.

U.S. Open 2012: Andy Roddick Announces He Will Retire Following Tournament

Andy Roddick announced at a press conference Thursday that he would retire after the U.S. Open. Roddick, who celebrated his 30th birthday Thursday, told reporters that he did not know if he was healthy or committed enough to continue playing for another year. Roddick had previously planned to play a reduced schedule of events in 2013, but said Thursday he "didn't want to disrespect the game by coasting home."

This year's U.S. Open will conclude a 12-year pro career for Roddick, who will be remembered as the best American player of the post-Pete Sampras era in professional tennis. He will also be remembered for being blocked on the road to more Grand Slam titles by Roger Federer.

Roddick's only major title came at the 2003 U.S. Open, when he defeated Juan Carlos Ferrero in straight sets. He also made three Wimbledon finals (2004, 2005, and 2009), as well as the 2006 U.S. Open final. On all four occasions, he was defeated by Federer, most memorably in the 2009 Wimbledon gentleman's final, in which the fifth and final set ended 16-14.

Roddick, the No. 20 seed on the men's side, will face Bernard Tomic in a second-round singles match at Arthur Ashe Stadium Friday night.

U.S. Open Tennis Results 2012: Wozniacki Out, Williams Sisters, Tsonga, Roddick Advance

A shocking first-round upset of No. 8 Caroline Wozniacki highlighted Day 2 action from the U.S. Open at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadow, N.Y., as the former world No. 1 dropped her opening match in straight sets to unranked Irina-Camelia Begu, 6-2, 6-2.

Wozniacki's loss was counter to the multitude of favorites who claimed victory in the tournament's first two days, as the Williams sisters both advanced easily in first-round action. Serena Williams took care of Coco Vandeweghe, 6-1, 6-1, while her sister Venus bested American Bethanie Mattek-Sands, 6-3, 6-1.

The men's side of the draw also saw many favorites prevail, as No. 20 Andy Roddick was not broken against qualifier Rhyne Williams, 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga topped Slovakian Karol Beck 6-3, 6-1, 7-6 (7-2).

2012 U.S. Open: Caroline Wozniacki Out In First Round

Caroline Wozniacki's attempt to capture her first major championship will have to wait at least until 2013 as the former world No. 1 and U.S. Open's eighth seed fell quickly in straight sets to unseeded Irina-Camelia Begu, 6-2, 6-2.

Tuesday night's action on Louis Armstrong Stadium from the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadow, N.Y. turned out to be surprising, as Begu, who has not advanced past the second round at any major, quickly disposed of the favored Wozniacki. Begu now advances in a quarter of the women's draw whose biggest remaining name, No. 4 Serena Williams, was also in action Tuesday night against fellow American Coco Vandeweghe.

Begu will face Silvia Soler-Espinosa in the second round after the Spaniard defeated Russia's Alla Kudryavtseva, 6-3, 6-2 in her first round match. Soler-Espinosa, who is currently ranked 58th in the world, advanced to the third round in last year's U.S. Open.

U.S. Open 2012: Maria Kirilenko Wins First-Round Match In Straight Sets

With the second day of action at the U.S. Open winding down with Tuesday's night session, a few names are making noise in Flushing Meadow, N.Y.

Russian Maria Kirilenko, the No. 14-seed in the women's singles tournament who might be better known as Washington Capitals star Alex Ovechkin's girlfriend, is on her way to the second round of the tournament after a dominating South African Chanelle Scheepers in straight sets, 6-2, 6-1.

Kirilenko will see Hungarian Greta Arn next in the second round, after Arn advanced as a result of her opponent, Agnes Szavay, retiring midway through the second set of their opening round match.

Arn and Kirilenko share their quarter of the U.S. Open with both No. 4 Serena Williams and No. 8 Carolina Wozniacki, and if the winner of their meeting moves on, they would see Williams in the round of 16.
