A great moment for Andy, his family, his team - Lendl is in tears and smiling, amazing - and his country.


Yup. And this just solidifies why I love tennis so much. This is just incredible.

Got to give it to Novak, when he goes out, he always goes out swinging... Even though Murray won in 3 sets, those were some hard won sets.

Anyone see that shot of Henman Hill? That looked like that was the place to be at the All-England Club.

My man Jon Wertheim had a great tweet: Game, set, history. Andy Murray.

Real happy for Andy. I saw him beat Novak in the semis at the Olympics and the scene was insane. I can't imagine what it's like out there now.

Pretty awesome to see Murray break through like he has in the past year. When Murray beat Djokovic at the Olympics last year, that was my wake up call. Now that he's taken the French and Wimbledon going through Djokovic it's clear that it's going to be very difficult to dominate like he did in 2011 ever again.

This generation of men is the greatest. We're spoiled on that side of the things, even as we lament the continued stat of the women's game.

Great win. Nole was rolling and for Murray to beat him so decisively is impressive.

It's really a rivalry between the two now.

I was a big critic but he's come a long way. His offensive firepower is so much better than before.

Good for Murray, glad to see him be the one to break his country's drought.
