#3 Andy Murray vs Novak Djokovic (2012)
Andy Murray, the golden boy of British tennis, had come to the 2012 US Open having endured a tough loss to Roger Federer in the Wimbledon final. Murray had finished runner-up in all four of his previous Grand Slam finals appearances, but he was determined to come up trumps this time.
Novak Djokovic was the defending champion and top seed. He had already won the Australian Open that year and was the strong favorite to lift his second consecutive US Open trophy.
But it turned out to be a special moment for the Scot, as he prevailed in an epic five-set clash.
At first it seemed like deja-vu for Murray as he let a two-set lead slip, allowing Djokovic to level the match at two sets all. The wind also played a big part in the proceedings, frequently throwing the players' shots off-course and in general causing them both a lot of frustration.
But the Scot showed remarkable poise in the deciding set, and he managed to outlast Djokovic. Murray finally shed the underdog tag as he took his maiden Grand Slam trophy, winning the match 7-6 (12-10), 7-5, 2-6, 3-6, 6-2.
