    Revealed: Andy Murray’s bar bill after US Open win

    Andy Murray celebrated his first Grand Slam title at the US Open last night with a visit to a trendy New York venue, and the drinks were on him.

    The Scot went to Hakkasan with around 30 friends to toast his triumph, and quickly racked up a bill of $6,448 for the evening - around £4,000.

    There were bottles of champagne ordered, as well as 17 'Zesty' Martinis.

    But actually, Murray's spend at the restaurant's Ling Ling bar is moderate given the fact that it includes 30 of the signature meals, which account for $5,040 of the bill.

    Not something most of us would spend at a single sitting, perhaps, but given that Murray had just pocketed $1.9m after winning the tournament, it won't have been too much of a blowout.

    And as for Murray's share of the bill? If you want to drink like the Scot after the biggest win of his life, the good news is that it is not out of your price range.

    Murray, who signed the bill and a menu for the restaurant, had only a single lemon soda, which set him back $6.

    About Tramlines

    Tramlines spent its formative years living and breathing tennis, watching Yannick Noah berate line judges and admiring Steffi Graf"s backhand slice from the comfort of its couch at home. Nowadays, Tramlines can often be seen wearing Andre Agassi's old denim shorts, sleeping under its desk in an office with an overzealous air-con machine, whilst devouring punnets of strawberries and pints of Pimms in a bid to bring you the best of the world's tennis. It boasts a 100 per cent record against Alex Bogdanovic on clay and has a top-spin forehand frequently compared to that of the great MaliVai Washington.
