Andy Murray secured his spot in the second round of the US Open by defeating Corentin Moutet in straight sets. Other British players, including Cameron Norrie, Jack Draper, and Dan Evans, also advanced in the tournament.
Andy Murray feels that he’s displaying his most reliable tennis since 2017, as evidenced by his recent win over Corentin Moutet, securing a spot in the US Open’s second round.
This victory marked his 200th Grand Slam match win, and he’s now preparing to face Grigor Dimitrov in the next round.
Despite battling injuries, the 36-year-old has made an impressive comeback to the top 40 of world rankings, and he’s hopeful of climbing higher from his current position at 37th.
“I’m at my highest ranking since I had the metal hip put in so I’m happy with that,” said Murray. “It’s not been an easy journey and obviously I’d like to be ranked higher.
“This is the best I’ve played consistently since probably 2017. I’m happy to still be going and progressing and hoping I can push my ranking up.”
Although he had to withdraw from the warm-up tournaments in Toronto and Cincinnati due to an abdominal strain, Murray demonstrated no signs of difficulty as he defeated Moutet with a score of 6-2, 7-5, 6-3 on Grandstand.
“I feel good, the preparation was slightly tricky because I had to slowly build my serving up but I was happy with how I served today,” he added.
