The action at Flushing Meadow got underway on Monday as the U.S. Open tennis began in earnest. With so many absentees this year, one of the biggest stories before the first ball was pounded down at over 100 mph into the hard surface in New York was whether British player Andy Murray could possibly recapture his previous form that saw him win the event in 2012.

Now, after two stirring British victories, talk is turning to how long they might last in the Men’s Singles draw and whether old glories could be revisited in a fortnight’s time.

Murray Wins from Two Sets Down

Murray’s 4-6 4-6 7-6 (7-5) 7-6 (7-4) 6-4 victory against Japan’s Yoshihito Nishioka in the US Open 1st round flew in the face of many pundits expectations, especially when he went two sets down. The manner of his fight back will therefore be almost as satisfying as the result itself. Available at 100/1 each way at the start of the tournament, those odds have been trimmed to 50/1 in most places and 66/1 on a few sites.
