The score is 5-4 in favor of Murray and he is serving. He is leading Djokivic  winning the first two sets 6-4, 7-5.

He is trying to close out the set for the match to become the first British champ at the big W. in 77 years.

Murray quickly takes a 40-0 lead and then blows the next three points.

The exchanges are long, the players working each point to to the max

 The crowd is erupting in cheers of victory at each point even when Murray goes long and Djovkovic hits the corners.

On the third championship point, ESPN's John Mcenroe comments "I held my breath as long as I could." Brother Patrick comments, "you and the rest of Great Britain."

Djovkovic is giving it his best and even has three break points,  but Murray fights off each one to come back to finally close out the match.

Kudos to Murray who, after finally winning his first major at the 2012 US Open, has been able to build the mental stamina to mature into a potential number one player in the world.  

And, of course, kudos to Ivan Lendl, Andy's coach,  who has developed his pupil's nerves of steel.

The tennis world is crowning a new king....
