After a tough year, Andy Murray might have been hoping for a break in the US Open first round — a wildcard outsider or lowly qualifier perhaps.
Instead Thursday night’s unveiling of the draw paired the 2012 US Open champion against third seed Stefanos Tsitsipas, one of the few players who might just halt the march of Novak Djokovic.
The Greek might not be best pleased with his opponent, who he has never faced. Ultimately, though, it probably dashes much hope Murray would have of building momentum at the end of another interrupted season.
