Roger won his fifth U.S. Open in a row
by beating Andy Murray in the final today!
The 6-2 7-5 6-2 victory
put him one grand slam crown away from matching the record total
collected by American Pete Sampras.

"This is a very special moment in my career,"
said Roger after his victory.
"I had a couple of tough Slams this year, including that epic at Wimbledon.
To take this one home is incredible. It means the world to me."

He powered up his huge game for the first Monday final in New York in 21 years,
delayed a day after torrential rain scuttled the weekend schedule.
He avenged two defeats against Murray,
who would have become the first Briton to win the US tournament since
Fred Perry in 1936.

"Andy's gone great the past couple of weeks,"
Roger said.
'We'll see more of him in the future.'
Roger took the first two sets and then kicked in his afterburners
with two breaks of the Scot to love in the third set, 4-0.
He was broken while serving for victory leading 5-1 but put things right a
game later on his second match point,
as he wrong- footed Murray before falling to his knees
in celebration of the reassuring victory.

Roger is the first man to win five successive titles at two different Grand Slams,
just ended his streak this year at Wimbledon.
He improved his Grand Slam finals record to 13-4.
The match was his 34th straight win at Flushing Meadows,
where he is now 45-4 lifetime.

** Roger did great! I saw the 1st and 2nd set of the match, making me skip my first class..LOL!
I didn't wait for the awarding ceremony..as long as Roger will win.. I'm HAPPY!
A victory very special indeed.
Save the best for last!
He is INVINCIBLE!**
