2012 U.S. Open Tennis Results: Andy Murray Finally Has His Major

Andy Murray has his first major championship after beating No. 2 Novak Djokovic in five thrilling sets at the 2012 U.S. Open.

Murray has come close so many times before to gaining glory on the biggest stages in the tennis world. Now, Murray can rest easy after dispatching Djokovic 7-6 (12-10), 7-5, 2-6, 3-6 and 6-2.

Murray appeared in control and ready to win the match after two sets, but then things took a turn. Djokovic showed why he's a champion, fighting back to dominate the third and fourth sets to force the fifth and deciding one.

From that point on, Murray refused to be denied on this windswept Monday night in Flushing, N.Y.

In what was statistically a very even contest, the Great Britain product made the pressure shots when he had to, just like this summer at the 2012 London Olympics.

No longer will Murray be one of the players topping lists of the greatest without a major.

Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray will close out the 2012 U.S. Open with their showdown Monday, as the two aim for the men's singles title at Flushing Meadow after more than two weeks of action from the season's final Grand Slam event.

The No. 2 Djokovic and No. 3 Murray each advanced to the finals with four-set victories in the semifinals. In Djokovic's case, however, his match spanned two days because of weather delays — delays that also extended the U.S. Open beyond its normal 14-day schedule.

The 4 p.m. showdown represents the 15th time the two will meet as professionals. Djokovic holds the advantage between the two overall, with an 8-6 record against the Scotsman, 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.

2012 U.S. Open: Serena Williams Wins Fourth Open Singles Title

Thirteen years after her first U.S. Open crown, No. 4 Serena Williams won her fourth title at the U.S. Open on Sunday, topping world No. 1 Victoria Azarenka, 6-2, 2-6, 7-5, in thrilling fashion in Flushing Meadow, N.Y.

Williams began the match in dominant form, needing just 34 minutes to take the first set in the late afternoon at Arthur Ashe Court, and looked well on her way to the victory, using 16 first-set winners to capture an early advantage. The tide turned quickly, however, as Azarenka was able to bounce back and take the second set from Williams in similar fashion.

Though Azarenka did not hit many winners in the second set (just three), her serve worked to her advantage, as she won 83 percent of her first-serve points and was only threatened with a break point once.

In the final set, Azarenka converted a critical break to go up 5-3 against Williams, but the now 15-time major champion won four straight games in convincing fashion to close out the match and finish the U.S. Open with a flourish.

2012 U.S. Open Scores: Andy Murray Advances To Finals; Weather Suspends Rest Of U.S. Open Matches

Foul weather suspended the U.S. Open early on Saturday afternoon, but not before Andy Murray was able to blast a victory by Tomas Berdych to advance to the men's singles final.

Berdych won the first set 7-5 but Murray fired right back 6-2, 6-1, 7-6 (7) to fight his way past the brutal weather conditions into the final. Wind gusts pushed past 20 mph and at one point blew a chair onto the court. Murray will have to wait on extra day to see who his opponent is as Novak Djkovic and David Ferrer's match was suspended with Ferrer ahead in the first set 5-2.

Murray is aiming to win his first Grand Slam title, and the first one for any British man in 76 years.

The women's singles final between fourth-seeded Serena Williams and top-seeded Victoria Azarenka is also suspended until Sunday, Sept. 9.

No. 2 Bob and Mike Bryan are leading the 2012 U.S. Open men's doubles final in the second set over No. 5 Leander Paes and Radek Stepanek, 6-3, 5-3.

The Bryan brothers have won 11 Grand Slam titles as a doubles team and three U.S. Open titles in 2005, 2008 and 2010. Their last Grand Slam title came at Wimbledon in 2011, though they won the men's doubles gold medal at the 2012 Olympics.

U.S. Open 2012 Tennis Scores: Andy Roddick Ends Career With Loss To Juan Martin Del Potro

Andy Roddick's tennis career has come to an end as he fell to Juan Martin Del Potro by a score of 6-7(7), 7-6(7), 6-2, 6-4. The 30-year-old Roddick announced that he would retire after the 2012 U.S. Open. In Wednesday's match against Del Potro, Roddick gave it his all and force two tie breaking sets, splitting both.

It was in the second set when Del Potro started to gain control as he won the final three sets to move on. Roddick was unable to get back in the game after he seemed to expand most of his energy in the first set, and just faded in the third and fourth sets.

A key reason that Roddick came up short was due to 46 unforced errors, while Del Potro had just 31 for Del Potro. Roddick also had chances in the fourth set but was unable to take advantage of those opportunities.

Roddick's career ends with one major championship which was at the 2003 U.S. Open, plus he also reached the finals of three other Grand Slam events.

U.S. Open 2012: TV Schedule, Matches, Live Streaming And More

Play is backed up at the U.S. Open, as rain delayed and postponed most of Tuesday's matches to create what could be an action-packed Wednesday, if weather permits.

Andy Roddick, who is set to retire at the end of the tournament, could be playing the last match of his career. His fourth-round match with Juan Del Potro was at 6-6 in the first set when it was suspended on Tuesday night.

Del Potro, the only non-Big Three player to win a major in over five years, is favored to win the match, if his balky wrist holds up.

While the home crowd will likely be occupied with the fate of the last American to win a major tournament, the rest of the field is set to play on Wednesday as well, including Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic and Serena Williams.

2012 U.S. Open Scores: Maria Sharapova Trails In Postponed Match

Tuesday night play at the 2012 U.S. Open has been suspended because of rain in New York City, with at least one match being postponed until Wednesday.

Third-seeded Maria Sharapova had her match suspended and later postponed until Wednesday. Sharapova currently trails Marion Bartoli 4-0 in the first set, but is currently winning the fifth game, 15-30, as she looks to break Bartoli's serve and get back into the first set.

The winner of the match between Sharapova and Bartoli will advance to take on top-seeded Victoria Azarenka, who defeated No. 7 Samantha Stosur, 6-1, 4-6, 7-6 (7-5) to advance to the semifinals.

Andy Roddick's match against Juan Martin del Potro is still currently scheduled for Tuesday night, though it's unknown what time the match will actually begin. It's feasible that rain could postpone the match until tomorrow.

If Roddick loses, that will spell the end of his playing career, as he announced that the 2012 U.S. Open will be the last tournament he participates in.

Stosur had the advantage in serve speed, aces and double faults in the overall match but found herself trailing early. After the first set, Stosur fought back winning the second set and forcing the third and decisive set into a tiebreaker before losing.

Azarenka did win more break points in the match, winning six to Stosur's four. She also held an advantage over Stosur in receiving points, winning 43 to Stosur's 36. In the match, Azarenka won 70 percent of her points on the first serve as well as 42 percent of first serve return points.

2012 U.S. Open Tennis Results: Serena Williams Dominates; Roger Federer Advances

After Monday's action came to a close at the 2012 U.S. Open in Flushing, NY, the usual suspects have moved onto the quarterfinals.

Roger Federer was able to advance without even playing. His opponent, No. 24 American Mardy Fish was forced to retire due to health issues.

The Swiss product will certainly benefit from some added rest before having a match on Wednesday against sixth-ranked Tomas Berdych. Berdych was overwhelming in the fourth round, beating Nicolas Almagro 7-6 (7-4), 6-4, 6-1.

Englishman Andy Murray showed up in top form, dispatching No. 15 Milos Raonic in straight sets. Murray was in control from the start, taking the match 6-4, 6-4, 6-2.

On the women's side of the draw, Serena Williams continued to show why many believe her to be virtually unbeatable. In a pounding of epic measure, Williams throttled Andrea Hlavackova 6-0, 6-0 to advance towards her fourth U.S. Open title.

In the biggest upset of the round, Roberta Vinci toppled No. 2 Agnieszka Radwanska in remarkable easy fashion, 6-1, 6-4. She'll now oppose fellow Italian Sara Errani in the quarters.

U.S. Open 2012: Mardy Fish Withdraws, Roger Federer Advances

Roger Federer advanced to the quarterfinals of the 2012 U.S. Open on Monday, after Mardy Fish withdrew from the fourth-round match between the two because of precautionary health concerns.

Fish had been sidelined for two months earlier this year because of an accelerated heartbeat, and had a medical procedure to remedy the issue in May.

Federer will now face the Czech Republic's Tomas Berdych in the quarterfinals. Berdych, the No. 6 seed in the tournament, advanced in straight sets over Nicolas Almagro, 7-6 (7-4), 6-4, 6-1.

The withdrawal is both unfortunate and disappointing for Fish, who advanced to the fourth round after pulling off a minor upset over France's Gilles Simon, winning 6-1, 5-7, 7-6 (7-3), 6-3.

Barring any upsets from this point forward, Federer will face Andy Murray in the semifinals, in a rematch of the 2012 Olympic gold medal mach.

Earlier in the day David Ferrer defeated Lleyton Hewitt 7-6 (11-9), 4-6, 6-3, 6-0 to advance. Hewitt need look no further than his 72 unforced errors as the biggest reason for his loss.

An upset of fifth-ranked Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and a spectacular comeback from American Mardy Fish highlighted the action from the 2012 U.S. Open on Thursday, as the tournament heats up in preparation for its first weekend.

Tsonga, who was considered by many to be a real threat at the tourney, instead went quietly in four sets to Slovakia's Martin Klizan, 6-4, 1-6, 6-1, 6-3.

Serena Williams cruised past Maria Jose Martinez Sanchez, 6-2, 6-4.

No. 1 Roger Federer had little trouble on Thursday advancing to the third round, topping Bjorn Phau of Germany, 6-2, 6-3, 6-2. Federer will next see No. 25 Fernando Verdasco, who is sure to be a tough test for the world's top-ranked player. It took American Mardy Fish five sets to join Federer the third round, but Fish completed a two-sets-down comeback, eliminating Nikolay Davydenko, 4-6, 6-7 (4-7), 6-2, 6-1, 6-2.

American James Blake, looking to make some noise as an unranked combatant in the men's draw, flew by Granollers in straight sets, 6-1, 6-4, 6-2. Blake next faces No. 15 Milos Raonic of Canada in the third round.

U.S. Open 2012 Tennis Scores: Serena Williams Cruises To Third Round

With her sister set to play tonight, Serena Williams wrapped the day session at Arthur Ashe Stadium early on Thursday, easily dispatching of Maria Jose Martinez Sanchez in straight sets in second round action, 6-2, 6-4.

Williams was efficient in the first set, winning six of the eight games in just more than 30 minutes. The second set took slightly longer at 48 minutes. Sanchez was only being able to break Williams once over the course of the match, which Serena was easily able to overcome.

Williams' 11 aces during the match helped bring her to 32 winners over the course of the 18 games. Her six double faults, however, might be cause for concern moving forward for the fourth seed in the women's draw. Sanchez, for her part, was only able to create five winners during the match, but did keep her unforced errors low, collecting only 12 — seven of which were double faults.

Williams will next face Ekatarina Markova of Russia, currently ranked 42nd in the world.

2012 U.S. Open Tennis Scores: Jo Wilfried Tsonga Upset In Second Round

In the first big upset of the 2012 U.S. Open, No. 5 seed Jo Wilfried Tsonga of France was upset in his second round match by Martin Klizan of Slovakia in four sets 6-4, 1-6, 6-4, 6-3.

The 27-year-old Tsonga, one of the most talented and enigmatic players in men's tennis, had seemingly overcome his inconsistency in major tournaments over the last few years, as he regularly advanced deep into the quarterfinals and semifinals of all four majors.

Something was off on Thursday, however, as Tsonga would up going home with his earliest exit in a major since the 2007 Australian Open.

After coming out flat in the first set, he seemingly rebounded in the second, before repeated unforced errors in the third and fourth capsized him.

His loss opens up his side of the bracket and may make the road to a U.S. Open title easier for Andy Murray, the No. 3 seed, who was slated to face Tsonga later in the draw.

2012 U.S. Open Scores: Ana Ivanovic Advances To 3rd Round

The Serbian's forehand was working and she was dominant with that shot. She won more than 60 percent of her receiving chances, which allowed her to break Arvidsson's serve five times.

Ivanoic and Arvidsson are familiar foes and have gone head-to-head many times. After the match she remarked "It's easier to play someone you know."

In the third round, Ivanovic will face the winner of the match between American Sloane Stephens and German Tatjana Malek. Those two are scheduled to play Thursday afternoon at Louis Armstrong Stadium.

U.S. Open 2012: TV Schedule, Matches, Live Streaming And More

The 2012 U.S. Open began on Monday with just about everything going according to plan in the men's and women's draws.

On Tuesday, it will be interesting to see how the remaining first-round matches shake out in venerable Flushing Meadows, N.Y.

Andy Roddick will start his tournament against fellow American Rhyne Williams. While most don't expect much out of the aging Roddick, he's shown a propensity to get rolling if he can just escape the first few rounds.

John Isner is a more local name to watch, and some experts feel he can be a challenger to the likes of Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic. The former Georgia Bulldog opens against Belgium's Xavier Malisse and could go on a nice run with a favorable draw. Isner, the No. 9 seed, wouldn't have to play Andy Murray, Djokovic or Federer until the semifinals.

Serena Williams will also begin her bid for a fourth U.S. Open title against Coco Vandeweghe, while Caroline Wozniacki looks to create some momentum when taking on Irina-Camelia Begu.
