There hasn’t been a British U.S. Open winner for eight years, but with the Coronavirus pandemic meaning the famous tournament at Flushing Meadow could be without players such as Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer and Stan Wawrinka, could Andy Murray return to claim his second U.S. Open Mens Singles title?

Murray, whose return from a serious hip injury has seen him miss 10 months compared to the six months that his peers have been absent for, a gap that means less with each passing week, has been involved in this week’s Battle of the Brits tournament.
