Andy Murray hustles into fourth round at US Open

New York: Andy Murray finally enjoyed a straight-forward win after two earlier battles to advance to the fourth round of the U.S. Open with a 6-3, 6-2, 7-5 victory over Brazilian Thomaz Bellucci on Saturday.

“It was very important for me today. The last match was extremely tough, physically and mentally,” Murray said in an on-court interview.

“It was a lot cooler today which helps, if you get to win in three sets in much cooler conditions and get a day to recover now for the next one.”

Murray will next face 15th-seeded South African Kevin Anderson, who beat Austrian Dominic Thiem in straight sets.
