Andy Murray marked the 10th anniversary of his first Grand Slam win on Monday with an impressive US Open straight-sets victory over Argentina’s Francisco Cerundolo. The 35-year-old Murray beat 24th seed 7-5, 6-3, 6-3, showing no sign of the recent cramping problem that plagued his hardcourt heat. “It felt like five sets,” Murray said after his first straight-sets win at the Slam since Wimbledon in 2017.
Murray won the first of his three Grand Slams at the US Open in 2012, ending Britain’s 76-year wait for a men’s champion in the majors.
“It feels like a long time ago when I won here. A lot has happened in my career since then but this was a huge moment for me.”

Murray, now ranked 51st, will face either Australia’s John Millman or American wildcard Emilio Nava for a place in the last 32.
