Andy Murray can edge closer to his second US Open title with a second-round win over Adrian Mannarino. Join The Roar for live scores from around 4:30am (AEST) following the completion of Kateryna Bondarenko and Simona Halep.
Andy has not won in New York since 2012, and needs to create a balance between playing hard and resting to ensure his body is at the highest possible level for his third-round match.
This match is a huge test for Mannarino. If he wishes to proceed to the third round, he must defend Murray’s shots and keep him at range rather than taking points to the net.
Murray and Mannarino have played each other once, with Murray winning at Indian Wells in 2015 in straight sets 6-3, 6-3.
Murray has a win-loss record of 9-1 in his last 10 matches and is coming off a win over Australian Nick Kyrgios in the first round, which he did in four sets 7-5, 6-3, 4-6, 6-1.
Mannarino opened his US Open campaign with a straight-sets win over Konstantin Kravchuk 7-6, 6-4, 6-1. He holds a win-loss record of 5-5.
Prediction
Murray will progress with an easy win over Mannarino.
Murray in straight sets.
