Andy Murray returns the ball during his first round match against Yoshihito Nishioka on day two of the 2020 US Open AFP/AL BELLONEW YORK: Andy Murray showed the fighting qualities that he was renowned for in his prime, battling back from two sets down to progress to round two of his comeback Grand Slam at the US Open on Tuesday .

"I was sort of pacing myself. Once I got two sets down I had to start putting the after-burners on and managed to get through."Advertisement By then, Murray was playing more aggressively, forcing Nishioka onto the back foot and into errors of his own. "They said it was for emergencies. For me this is an emergency right now. I'll ask and see if they'll allow me to use the ice bath. If not I'll try to get back to the hotel as quickly as I can," he said.
