The 35-year-old
Murray defeated the 24th seed 7–5, 6–3, 6–3, showing no signs of recent
cramping problems which plagued his hardcourt summer.
“It felt like five
sets,” said Murray after his first straight sets victory at the Slams since
Wimbledon in 2017.
“They were very
tricky conditions, very hot and humid. Just really happy to get through that
one.”
Murray won the
first of his three
Grand Slams at the US Open in 2012, ending Britain’s 76-year
wait for a men’s champion at the majors.
“It seems like a
long time ago when I won here. A lot has happened in my career since then but
it was huge moment for me.”
Now ranked 51,
Murray will face either Australia’s
John Millman or American wildcard Emilio
Nava for a place in the last 32.
