Andy Murray Served Reality Check With Heavy US Open Defeat

Andy Murray conceded he might "need to accept" he is no longer capable of reaching the latter stages at Grand Slams after a demoralising straight-sets loss to Grigor Dimitrov in the US Open second round. The 36-year-old Murray, the 2012 US Open champion, produced a flat display in his 6-3, 6-4, 6-1 defeat to 19th seed Dimitrov, and has not been past the last 32 at a major in six years. "It's obviously disappointing, to not play how you would like, you know," said Murray, who hit 45 unforced errors and just 16 winners Thursday.

US Open: Casper Ruud Stunned By Unseeded Zhang Zhizhen In Second Round

Fifth seed Casper Ruud on Thursday crashed out of US Open after losing to China's Zhang Zhizhen in five sets in a second round clash. Ruud, last year's finalists, lost 4-6, 7-5, 2-6, 6-0, 6-2 to Zhizhen, who is the first men's Chinese player to knock a top-5 seed out in a Grand Slam. The 26-year-old from Shanghai -- ranked 67th in the world -- produced the match of his life to win in 3hr 19min. Zhang will now take on Australia's Rinky Hijikata, who defeated Martin Fuscovics in straight sets, in the third round on Friday.

Novak Djokovic sailed into the US Open third round Wednesday in his quest for a 24th Grand Slam triumph as Iga Swiatek and Coco Gauff stayed on a quarter-final collision course in New York. Djokovic climbed through the gears against 76th-ranked Bernabe Zapata Miralles, winning 13 of the last 15 games to ease through 6-4, 6-1, 6-1 in two hours on Arthur Ashe Stadium court. Next up for the Serbian star is compatriot and 32nd seed Laslo Djere, with Djokovic keeping up his record of always reaching at least the last 32 in New York.

Coco Gauff Downs Mirra Andreeva, 16, To Make US Open Third Round

American teenager Coco Gauff qualified for the third round of the US Open on Wednesday after beating 16-year-old Russian Mirra Andreeva 6-3, 6-2. Sixth seed Gauff, one of the favourites for the title after recent tournament wins in Washington and Cincinnati, will meet Belgium's Elise Mertens or countrywoman Danielle Collins for a place in the last 16. After a tough opening round against German veteran Laura Siegemund, Gauff dominated the youngest player in the draw to notch a 13th win in 14 matches since losing in the Wimbledon first round.

Carlos Alcaraz, Daniil Medvedev Ease Into US Open Second Round

Carlos Alcaraz launched the defence of his US Open crown with a brisk victory after his opponent suffered an injury on Tuesday as third seed Daniil Medvedev strolled into the second round with a quick-fire win. Alcaraz, returning to the same Arthur Ashe Stadium court where he lifted his first Grand Slam as a teenager a year ago, was always in control after Germany's Dominik Koepfer rolled his left ankle badly in the opening game. Koepfer tried to continue despite being in obvious discomfort, but finally called it quits while trailing 3-2 in the second set after dropping the first 6-2.
