Andy Murray celebrated the 10th anniversary of his first Grand Slam triumph on Monday with an impressive victory over Argentina’s Francisco Cerundolo in the US Open. The 35-year-old Murray defeated the 24th seed 7-5, 6-3, 6-3 and showed no signs of recent cramp problems that plagued his hard-court summer. “It felt like five sets,” said Murray after his first consecutive win at the Slams since Wimbledon in 2017. “It was very difficult conditions, very hot and humid. I’m just really happy I got through that.”
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 majors champion.
“It seems like a long time ago that I won here. A lot has happened in my career since then, but it was a huge moment for me.”

Murray is now in 51st place, taking on Australia’s John Millman or American wildcard Emilio Nava for a place in the last 32.
