Andy Murray just became the first Brit to win a Grand Slam final since 1936!

He recently defeated Novak Djokovic during a five-hour long five-set final.

That's crazy! That must've been absolutely exhausting!

He is now moving ahead of the injured Rafael Nadal in the world rankings to the number three spot.

He said:

Holy shizz!

We hope you aren't wearing tight pants, because your tennis boner is about to lose control!

We had no idea he was about to do this: Roger Federer has surpassed Pete Sampras for the most weeks at No. 1 in the ATP rankings!

After winning Wimbledon a week ago, Federer started his 287th week at No. 1 — one more than Sampras.

Here's what he said:

"[I'm] extremely proud and honored to have beaten Pete's record as he was my childhood hero and I have always looked up to him."

Cool beans!

Congrats on Wimbledon, Roger!

Ryan Murphy's givin'em something to talk about!

The big topic to blow up on social media the other night was Glee's uber-emotional and powerful new episode, Asian F. Twitter, Facebook, Tumbler, etc blew up with comments from Gleeks who really enjoyed the Mercedes-Mike-Emma-centric episode.

As a result, it clocked in as the No. 1 topic on Wednesday's Social Power Rankings!

So maybe the ratings don't reflect it, but the fans are still there!

So, what else are people chatting about? What else:

That would be embarrassing!

Tiger Woods may be in danger of not being able to qualify for his own golf tournament!

In December, the golfer is hosting the Chevron World Challenge, in which participants must be ranked in the world's top 50 to play. Currently, Tiger is ranked #46.

Tournament director Greg McLaughlin is confidant that Woods will be eligible to play, however, others aren't.

Sources have pointed out that it is possible he could drop to a lower ranking based on what happens at this week's BMW Championship.

No one can stay on top forever, but we're routing for Tiger to pull it together and get his game up!

And in top form!

Serena Williams played her first tennis match since January on Tuesday in the UK and WON!

She took on Bulgarian tennis pro Tsvetana Pironkova at the AEGON International and came back after being a set down to defeat Pironkova 1-6, 6-3, 6-4.

On Wednesday, Serena received the good news that she had been announced as the No. 7 seed at this year's Wimbledon, which begins Monday.

The position is 19 places above her world ranking and allows her to avoid playing the highest-ranked players until at least the quarterfinals.

Congrats!

Serena has been out of commission since a foot injury required multiple surgeries, then suffered a blood clot in her lungs, but looks to be coming back full force!

Good luck at Wimbledon next week!

Check out more pics of Serena back in action below!

We must say we saw this coming.

Bloomberg Businessweek’s annual Power 100 rankings of athletes named Colts quarterback Peyton Manning the most powerful athlete, knocking Tiger Woods off of his throne.

Snowboarder Shaun White was awarded second place, while Tiger placed third.

Bloomberg says that "sex scandals tend to hurt earnings and unquestionably damaged Woods' performance. Unless he can regain his game — and the trust of fans and advertisers — his earnings are likely to keep plummeting."

LeBron James was another big loser this year, dropping from second place to 11th — mostly because of his move from Cleveland to Miami.

The lesson here: Don’t have sex with women who aren’t your wife and don’t betray your home town!

Uh-oh. We don't think this is going to go over too well at the judges table when Idol starts back up.

Original American Idol judge Randy Jackson was on Jimmy Kimmel's show last night talking about the upcoming season. The pair started to drift into a conversation about Jennifer Lopez, but instead of praising her judging abilities, Randy went on the defense of Jennifer's singing ability. When asked to rate her on a scale to 1-10, he gave her a 7.

Yeah, we agree with that.

Then, Jimmy asked Randy to compare JLo to some of the other singers of the day like Britney Spears, Ke$ha and Lady GaGa. Of the latter, Randy equated them to be about EQUAL!

Our response to that: WTF??? Are you serious??? We think the last decade has ruined you! You can't possibly believe that GaGa is only a point better than JLo?! What's wrong with you???

Check out the video (above) to hear Randy say it for himself.

Totally disagree with you, dawg!
