Andy Murray fires warning to Rafael Nadal and US Open favourites with fitness admission

Andy Murray feels that his fitness levels are the best they have been in years as he booked a spot in the US Open third round with victory over American wildcard Emilio Nava.

It has been six years since Murray won his third Grand Slam tournament at Wimbledon. Since having two hip surgeries, the first in 2018, the Brit has struggled with his fitness and form. The Covid pandemic, which led to a break in tournaments, didn't help and a groin injury set him back again last year.

The 35-year-old was also concerned after suffering recurring cramp issues during matches in Cincinnati last month in preparation for the US Open.
