NEW YORK: The British charge at the US Open will carry on without Andy Murray as Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov crushed the former champion 6-3 6-4 6-1 on Thursday to reach the third round.
"I was expecting, honestly, five sets," said Dimitrov, as he advanced the third round of the hardcourt major for the first time since 2019."He's a tremendous competitor ... I'm very happy with the fight." Murray, US Open champion in 2012, looked lively in the early stages as he zipped around the court but lost all his energy in the final set.
Women’s second seed Aryna Sabalenka dished out more pain for British fans across the plaza at Louis Armstrong Stadium when she knocked out Jodie Burrage in straight sets.
