NEW YORK (AP) — Britain’s Andy Murray has defeated Jamaica’s Dustin Brown 7-5, 6-3, 6-0 to move into the third round of the U.S. Open.
The fourth-seeded Murray is seeking to make his second U.S. Open final in three years. He won this year’s U.S. Open Series title, which means he could earn up to an extra $1 million in prize money if he wins the tournament.
Brown pushed him to 5-5 in the first set of the match Friday, but Murray won 14 of the next 17 games. The entire match lasted 1 hour, 25 minutes and the third set went 18 minutes.
