Andy Murray weathered a slow start in the latest stop of this long, successful summer. Seeking that elusive first Grand Slam title, Murray began his U.S. Open campaign Monday with a straight-set victory over Alex Bogomolov Jr. that included some hairy moments. The Olympic gold medalist overcame early breaks in the first two sets of a 6-2, 6-4, 6-1 win.
With Nadal out, Andy has a shot seeing that he beat both the number 1 and 2 seeds Djokovic and Federer at the Olympics - but that was on grass, this is hard court. Will be impressive if he can pull off that feat again at the U.S. Open.
