Murray wins five-set match at US Open
Andy Murray beat Yoshihito Nishioka 4-6, 4-6, 7-6 (7/5), 7-6 (7/4), 6-4 in his opening match at the US Open 2020.
"That's by far the most tennis I've played since 2019," said Murray. "At the beginning of the match I was apprehensive about playing a long match because I hadn't played one in a while.
"I was sort of pacing myself. Once I got two sets down I had to start putting the after-burners on and managed to get through."
Murray will next play Felix Auger-Allassime.

Murray beats Zverev at Western and Southern Open
Andy Murray defeated Alexander Zverev 6-3, 3-6, 7-5 at the Western and Southern Open in New York.
Murray took a 4-1 lead after an early break that eventually brought him the first set.
The deciding set found the advantage swinging this way and that. Murray led 4-1 at one stage, but later admitted that he then became nervous, felt fatigued and stopped moving his feet.
Next it was Zverev’s turn for self-sabotage, as he sent down that rash of double-faults when leading 5-4. And finally Murray put himself into the third round with a magnificent backhand return winner. All through the match, he had been pouncing on the Zverev second serve and ramming it back at pace.

Murray finds positive signs in US Open 2nd round exit
Andy Murray's Grand Slam return ended with a second-round exit at the US Open on Wednesday, but the former world number one found reason for optimism in a four-set loss to Fernando Verdasco.
The Scot, playing his first Grand Slam since Wimbledon of last year and just his fifth tournament since hip surgery in June, gave himself a mixed report card.
"I think some of the tennis I played today was some of the best I've played since I had the surgery or since I came back," Murray said.
"There were also periods in the match, especially in the first set, where I really didn't play particularly well.

Murray, whose world ranking has slumped to 382, goes on to face Fernando Verdasco, the Spanish 31st seed after seeing off the error-prone Duckworth, ranked at 448.
"He was serving big in the first set and the ball was flying around," said 31-year-old Murray who only returned to the tour in June.
"But I started to get into the return games, stood back a little more and that gave me more time to get in the rallies and find my range with my ground strokes."
At 3hr and 17mins on the new Louis Armstrong Stadium, it was Murray's longest match since his comeback in a reassuring indication of his fitness.
