Murray breezes into second round

Flushing Meadows, New York, 27 August-9 September

Britain's Andy Murray put his injury worries behind him with a comprehensive win over qualifier Pablo Cuevas in the first round of the US Open.

The 20-year-old needed less than two hours to outclass his Uruguayan opponent 6-2 6-3 6-0.

Murray did not appear to be troubled by the wrist injury which has limited him to three matches since mid-May.

The 19th seed hit 37 winners as he booked a second-round meeting with Jonas Bjorkman or Juan-Pablo Guzman.
