FORMER WORLD NUMBER one Andy Murray marked his first Grand Slam tournament in 14 months with a 6-7 (5/7), 6-3, 7-5, 6-3 win over Australia’s James Duckworth at the US Open on Monday.
Murray, the 2012 champion in New York and playing just his fifth tournament of the year after undergoing hip surgery in January, last featured in a major at Wimbledon in 2017.
Murray, whose world ranking has slumped to 382, triumphed over number 448 Duckworth and goes on to face either Fernando Verdasco or Feliciano Lopez for a place in the last 32.
