ANDY MURRAY started the US Open with a straight-set victory.
Andy Murray
Andy Murray won his first Grand Slam match in straight sets for over five years after his Argentine opponent sportingly conceded a point to the Scot at the US Open. The 2012 champion beat No.24 seed Francisco Cerundolo 7-5 6-3 6-3 in the first match of the day in the Louis Armstrong Stadium.
The Scot showed no signs of the cramping problem which had hampered his performances in the warm-up events. His ruthless performance in his 16th US Open appearance was his first straight sets win here since 2016. And his last three-set win in any Grand Slam event came in the fourth round of Wimbledon in 2017 against Frenchman Benoit Paire.
