Serena Williams failed in her bid to defend<br />
the women's title, losing out to Marion<br />
Bartoli of France in the fourth round. Andy<br />
Murray once again carried the hopes of<br />
the home nation.<br />
The Brit had his chances in his semi-final<br />
against Rafael Nadal, but the Spaniard<br />
ultimately proved too strong, winning 5-7,<br />
6-2,6-2, 6-4. In the Ladies Final a first<br />
Grand Slam title for Petra Kvitova saw her<br />
emulate childhood hero and <strong>com</strong>patriot<br />
Martina Navratilova; she became the first<br />
Czech champion since Jana Novotna in<br />
1998.<br />
The powerful left-hander defeated former<br />
winner Maria Sharapova in straight sets,<br />
6-3, 6-4. In the Men's Final defending<br />
champion Rafael Nadal came up against<br />
an inspired Novak Djokovic.<br />
The Serb outclassed the Spaniard to<br />
prevail 6-2, 6-3, l-6, 6-4. It was Djokovic's<br />
third Grand Slam title and first on the<br />
grass of SW19.<br />

Novak Djokovic underlined his new status<br />
as the world's top tennis player in 2011 by<br />
shattering Rafael Nadal's winning streak<br />
at Wimbledon to add his own name to the<br />
roll of honour at The Championships for<br />
the first time.<br />
The 24-year-old Serb, with his country's<br />
president watching from the Royal Box,<br />
won 6-4, 6-1, 1-6, 6-3 in two hours 28<br />
minutes to continue his domination of the<br />
2011 season - and Nadal in particular -<br />
throughout this most amazing season in<br />
his career.<br />
Five times in succession he has now<br />
defeated the Spaniard in finals, but none<br />
were as important or will taste as sweet as<br />
this.<br />
Tipped to create an upset at the 2011<br />
Championships, few saw Petra Kvitova<br />
wining 6-3, 6-4 in one hour 25 minutes.<br />
Although Maria Sharapova's play fell well<br />
below her best levels, it was in no small<br />
part due to the big-hitting torrent directed<br />
at her by the 21-year-old whose first, but<br />
surely not last, Grand Slam victory this<br />
was.<br />

<strong>2012</strong> <strong>2012</strong> US US OPEN OPEN MEN'S<br />
MEN'S<br />
FINA FINAL: FINA L: MURRAY MURRAY VS<br />
VS<br />
DJOKOVIC<br />
DJOKOVIC<br />
As the last major of the calendar year, the<br />
US Open annually brings down the curtain<br />
on the Grand Slam season with some of<br />
the most unforgettable matches in tennis<br />
history.<br />
In <strong>2012</strong>, it featured a marquee finale<br />
pitting the defending champion Novak<br />
Djokovic, pursuing his fourth straight<br />
hard-court Grand Slam title, against<br />
reigning Olympic champion Andy Murray,<br />
looking for his first Grand Slam title in his<br />
fifth Slam final.<br />
The two men entered the match with much<br />
in <strong>com</strong>mon. They were born one week<br />
apart in 1987 and grew up as junior rivals<br />
and subsequently as Top 5 players, each<br />
initially sitting just outside the top level set<br />
by Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. But<br />
where Djokovic broke through with a<br />
transcendent 2011, Murray was still<br />
fighting to capture his first major crown.<br />
The Scotsman posted his biggest career<br />
victory earlier in the summer, taking the<br />
gold medal at the Summer Olympic<br />
Games, and was hoping to translate that<br />
into a victory in Flushing Meadows.<br />
Djokovic, however, had no designs on<br />
relinquishing his title, hoping to add it to<br />
the Australian Open championship he won<br />
earlier in the year and the three majors he<br />
captured in 2011.<br />
The result would be one of the most<br />
memorable men's singles finals of the<br />
Open Era.<br />

FINALS<br />
The Wimbledon <strong>2012</strong> Men's Singles final<br />
was always going to be a historic final,<br />
regardless of the result.<br />
On one side of the net, Andy Murray, the<br />
first British man to reach a Wimbledon<br />
Singles final in 74 years and vying to<br />
be<strong>com</strong>e the first British champion since<br />
Fred Perry in 1936. But on the other side<br />
of the net loomed one of the greatest<br />
players of all time, Roger Federer, who,<br />
should he win, would equal Pete Sampras'<br />
record of seven Wimbledon Men's Singles<br />
titles.<br />
The Wimbledon <strong>2012</strong> Ladies' Final saw<br />
Serena Williams take on Agnieszka<br />
Radwanska. Radwanska made her first<br />
appearance in a Grand Slam Final and<br />
became the first Polish woman to reach<br />
the Wimbledon Ladies' final in 75 years.<br />
On Center Court Williams raced to a 5-0<br />
lead, on her way to winning the first set 6-1.<br />
After a short rain delay, Williams was<br />
quickly back into her stride taking a 3-1<br />
lead and it looked on course to be one of<br />
the shortest Ladies' Finals in Wimbledon<br />
history. But then Radwanska rediscovered<br />
her form and the 23 year old broke back<br />
twice to win the set 7-5, in front of a vocal<br />
crowd.<br />
The third and deciding set began evenly,<br />
but Williams broke at 3-2 and didn't look<br />
back, breaking again and taking the set<br />
6-2 to claim her 14th Grand Slam Singles<br />
title and her first in two years.<br />
