Every day of the US Open, Baseline will feature a player of the day for his or her commendable efforts in New York City.
Three-time Grand Slam champion Andy Murray fended off Yoshihito Nishioka on Tuesday after losing the first two sets, eventually making the comeback in almost five hours, 4-6, 4-6, 7-6 (5), 7-6 (4), 6-4.
When asked how the Scot felt after his wild comeback, Murray simply said, "I'm tired...my toes are the worst." Despite not playing in a major since the 2019 Australian Open, which would also be the last time he played best-of-five sets, Murray would over come a slow start and stay alive in the draw.
