'I'm a little bit in shock right now…” 😲 Harriet Dart sealed her first main draw win in New York – and her first win against a top-10 player - by beating Daria Kasatkina in three sets! 👏 More: BBCTennis USOpen
Murray was one of seven British players competing in the US Open singles and was the first through to the second round after opening play on Louis Armstrong Stadium, which is the second show court at Flushing Meadows.
While 24-year-old Cerundolo has largely climbed the rankings this year because of his results on clay, it felt like his forehand could cause problems for Murray on the hard court and many predicted a long slog between the pair. When asked if he was using the US Open's new rule permitting off-court coaching, Murray said: "Sometimes when you are in those conditions, it's quite easy to focus on yourself and how you are feeling. But it's good to sometimes have a look down the other end and see how your opponent is getting on.
There was an unusual incident in the ninth game, with Murray leading 5-4, when Cerundolo initially won a point despite a double bounce before sportingly handing it over to the Scot after replays on the big screens showed what had happened. "I did well physically and mentally to put that to the back of my mind and find a way to get through. So I was really happy with that," he added.On paper Draper appeared to have been handed a tricky opponent in Ruusuvuori, who got the better of him at Queen's in June.
