"Britain...I DID IT!!!" - Andy Murray



Andy Murray finally managed to break the United Kingdom's jinx at grand slam title victories, by finally winning the 2012 US Open!

Murray had been on a hot streak lately, after securing a gold medal at the London Olympics by thrashing the great Roger Federer.

IN the US Open final, the Scottish Murray faced another tennis champ on a hot streak, Novak Djokovic, and took down the Serb 7-6,7-5, 2-6, 3-6, 6-2 after a titanic battle.

Djokovic was the defending champion, and when Murray finally triumphed, the appreciative New York crowd must have been thinking: "The King is dead. Long live the King!"

Olympics Tennis 2012: Serena Williams, the Queen of London

The world's greatest sporting event is underway, and Serena Williams has just won gold for USA. easily trouncing another tennis royalty, the beautiful blonde Russian babe Maria Sharapova 6-0, 6-1 in less than an hour.

Bloody hell, mate! She did it!
After being out of action for the better part of 2011, Serena Williams has made a remarkable comeback. Winning the Wimbledon crown (also in England) just barely a month ago, Serena suddenly became the hot favorite to win the gold medal at the 2012 London Olympic Games. 

Well, Serena proved to everyone that she was able to cement her position as one of the greatest women tennis players and should now be known as the Queen of London, as she soundly thrashed Maria Sharapova, giving the Russian no chance at all. In fact, the Russian was lucky to even win one game as Serena hardly made any mistakes.


Now with two major titles in the bag this year, who is to say that the resurgent Serena Williams won't be able to also win at the French and US Opens? I certainly would not bet against her!

Title's in the bag, time to hit the beach!
