  4. 'Still a future at the top for Murray'published at 23:57 British Summer Time 29 August 2018

    Murray 5-7 6-2 4-6 4-6 Verdasco

    David Law
    BBC Radio 5 live sports extra commentator at Flushing Meadows

    He may have a bad reaction, the hip may go, but the level of tennis, the physicality he could bring, if he can avoid set backs and build incrementally - like Novak Djokovic did, like Stan Wawrinka is doing - then there is still a future in tennis at the highest level for Andy Murray.

  5. 'Murray is an unbelievable fighter'published at 23:56 British Summer Time 29 August 2018

    Here's what Fernando Verdasco had to say: "It was tough to close the match - with Andy it's always tough.

    "He's an unbelievable fighter - he's not 100% physically but he's an unbelievable fighter.

    "To go through - I've only beaten him at the Aussie Open in 2009. The only time I beat him was at a Grand Slam."

    Norrie 2-6 6-2 4-6 3-6 Lajovic

    Match point number three for Dusan Lajovic.

    Cameron Norrie engages the Serb in a long rally, before sending in a drop shot, but Lajovic is equal to it and he volleys a winner home.

    That's it. That's the match for Dusan Lajovic. Norrie, the British number two, is going home.

    Two Brits drop in a matter of minutes.

    Murray 5-7 6-2 4-6 4-6 Verdasco

    Murray waves to the crowd then with two big bags on his shoulders he walks off.

    As for Dancing 'Dasco, he sits on his chair, fires a fist pump towards his team and then talks to Brad Gilbert.

    What a moment!

  8. Norrie on the brink of going outpublished at 23:52 British Summer Time 29 August 2018

    Norrie 2-6 6-2 4-6 3-5 Lajovic*

    Huge game for Cameron Norrie, his US Open rests on this - and the chance to buy himself a London flat, which he reckons he'll need plenty of prize money to afford...

    A few nerves from Dusan Lajovic? Norrie moves to 0-30, but his Serbian opponent composes himself and quickly wipes that mini break out.

    Norrie, the world number 67, digs in once more. That's break back point. But he just can't get over the line, and it quickly becomes match point for Lajovic.

    Norrie saves! Lajovic earns another... Norrie saves again, and earns a second break back point. But he drops his racquet after failing to clear the net.

    Deuce number five...

    *Murray 5-7 6-2 4-6 4-5 Verdasco

    A second serve of 105mph is too good.

  12. Postpublished at 23:49 British Summer Time 29 August 2018

    *Murray 5-7 6-2 4-6 4-5 Verdasco

    Advantage Murray again.

    He will not go down that easily.

    Verdasco saves again with a slapped forehand that just lands in.

    Tense much?

    *Murray 5-7 6-2 4-6 4-5 Verdasco

    Verdasco gets a violation for taking too long with his serve.

    The Spaniard approaches the umpire and is agitated.

    Break point saved with a great first serve down the T.

    *Murray 5-7 6-2 4-6 4-5 Verdasco

    Advantage Murray as he comes to the net for a winner after sending Verdasco scampering to the back.

    Break point.

    First serve.

    Fault.

    Second serve, Verdasco comes in and punches a volley with Murray at the other end.

    Deuce.

    Then he serves a double fault.

    Advantage and break point Murray. Again.

  15. Match point savedpublished at 23:43 British Summer Time 29 August 2018

    *Murray 5-7 6-2 4-6 4-5 Verdasco

    Woeful!

    What was he thinking with that forehand?

    Deuce.

  16. Match pointpublished at 23:42 British Summer Time 29 August 2018

    *Murray 5-7 6-2 4-6 4-5 Verdasco

    One saved.

    So is the second with a wide serve.

    That took a lot of guts.

    Deuce.

    Now advantage as Murray stretches.

  17. Postpublished at 23:41 British Summer Time 29 August 2018

    *Murray 5-7 6-2 4-6 4-5 Verdasco

    Long from Verdasco.

    15-40.

    Two break points.

    Don't think about your 1-13 record against Murray.

    Oh, you have.

  18. Postpublished at 23:41 British Summer Time 29 August 2018

    Norrie 2-6 6-2 4-6 4-5 Lajovic*

    Cameron Norrie keeps his hopes alive for the moment, the British number two holding serve.

    Back to the British number eight now...

  19. Postpublished at 23:40 British Summer Time 29 August 2018

    *Murray 5-7 6-2 4-6 4-5 Verdasco

    Error one from 'Dasco.

    0-15.

    Winner number 50 from Verdasco.

    15-15.

    Double from Verdasco.

    15-30.

    Jittery.

  20. Postpublished at 23:38 British Summer Time 29 August 2018

    *Norrie 2-6 6-2 4-6 3-5 Lajovic

    Cameron Norrie earns a break back point, but can't take it... that was surely the chance.

    Dusan Lajovic recovers and seamlessly moves to a hold that means the British number two must serve to stay in the US Open.
