The Scot is in the midst of his best season since undergoing hip surgery, but a cruelly timed abdominal tear means he enters the tournament unseeded. Withdrawing from Toronto and skipping Cincinnati appears to have fixed the issue, with Murray saying that he’s been able to serve without discomfort in recent days, but it’s also robbed him of precious hard-court preparation time.
From Murray's point of view the draw appears to have been unusually kind, with Moutet ranked 71st and not exactly setting the world alight. The Frenchman has a 6-19 record in 2023, though his only ever notable grand slam run came at Flushing Meadows last year, when he made the fourth round. Can the 24-year-old pull off one of the biggest upsets of the week?
Make sure to catch all the 2023 U.S. Open live streams action by tuning into a Murray vs Moutet live stream. Scroll down for details.

How to watch the 2023 Murray vs Moutet live streams from anywhere with a VPN
A VPN, or virtual private network, makes it look as if you're surfing the web from your home country, rather than the one you're in. That means you can access the streaming services you already pay for, from anywhere on Earth. Or anywhere that has an internet connection, at least.
For instance, an Australian who's currently in the U.S. could watch the Murray vs Moutet live streams on 9Now, even though they're not in Australia.
They're totally legal, inexpensive and easy to use. We've tested lots of the best VPN services and our favorite right now is ExpressVPN. It's fast, works on loads of devices and even offers a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, ExpressVPN is our favorite.
2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance if you're in the U.S. and want to view an Australian service, you'd select Australia from the list.
3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to 9Now and watch Murray vs Moutet.
How to watch Murray vs Moutet live streams in the U.S.
Tennis fans in the U.S. will need ESPN Plus to watch Murray vs Moutet live streams.
The streaming service is showing the bulk of the action from Flushing Meadows, though some matches will also be shown on ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPN Deportes.
ESPN is available through most cable packages as well as some of the best cable TV alternatives, including Sling TV, Fubo, YouTube TV and Hulu with Live TV.
Our pick of these would be Sling TV. The Sling Orange package starts at just $40 per month and comes with more than 30 channels including ESPN.
Fubo, meanwhile, costs $75 per month for 121 channels and includes ESPN. It offers a 7-day free trial.
And remember, if you're usually based in the U.S. but aren't there at the moment, you can still watch the services you already subscribe to via a VPN such as ExpressVPN.
How to watch the 2023 Murray vs Moutet live streams in the U.K.
British tennis lovers can watch Murray vs Moutet on both Sky Showcase and Sky Sports. That means you don't need to be a Sky Sports customer to tune in.
The rest of the 2023 US Open is being shown on Sky Sports, however, which does require a Sports subscription on top of a standard Sky package.
If you already have a Sky subscription that doesn't include Sports, you'll need to pay £18/month to add those channels.
Whatever package you go for, you'll also gain access to coverage in 4K and HDR, so long as you also have an HDR-ready Sky Q box and HLG-compatible TV.
Sky Glass is another option. This gives you Sky TV within a 4K TV that has a built-in Dolby Atmos soundbar, and without the need for a dish. Prices start at £13/month for the TV, plus a sky sub on top of that.
If you don't want to shell out for a full Sky subscription, you could also consider its Now Sports streaming service. This gives you 24-hour access for £11.99 or month-long access for £34.99.
Going on holiday this week or next? Sign up to ExpressVPN or another VPN service and you'll be able to use the services you already subscribe to.

How to watch the Murray vs Moutet live streams in Australia
Aussies can watch the 2023 US Open live streams on Channel Nine, and even if the big matches like Murray vs Moutet don't air on TV, you'll be able to live stream them on the on-demand service 9Now.
That's great news wherever you are, because 9Now is available for free if an Australian postcode. Aussies who aren't in the country right now will simply need to sign up to a VPN such as ExpressVPN in order to watch all the action as if they were back home.
However, 9Now won't have every single match — so to watch it all, ad-free and in up to 4K resolution, you'll need a subscription to Stan Sport.
Stan costs from $10 AUD per month and new users get a 30-day FREE trial. You'll also need the Sport add-on, which costs $15 per month.
