Andy Murray defeated defending champion Novak Djokovic in the final, 7–6(12–10), 7–5, 2–6, 3–6, 6–2 to win the men's singles tennis title at the 2012 US Open.[1] It was his first major title, following four runner-up finishes. Murray was the first Briton to win a singles major since Virginia Wade in 1977 and the first British man since Fred Perry in 1936.[2] The final lasted 4 hours and 54 minutes, an Open Era record-equaling US Open final duration, tying with the 1988 final between Ivan Lendl and Mats Wilander.[3]

This tournament marked the last professional appearance of 2003 champion and former world No. 1 Andy Roddick; he lost to Juan Martín del Potro in the fourth round.[4]

This tournament marked the first time since the 2004 French Open that neither Roger Federer nor Rafael Nadal (who withdrew from the tournament due to a knee injury)[5] reached the semifinals of a major.

Murray's victory made 2012 the first season since 2003 to feature four different champions across the four majors.[6]
