Taylor aims to Dent Murray charge

Injury-torn American Taylor Dent promised Andy Murray a battle for every point as he set up a third-round meeting with the world number two at the US Open last night.

Dent, 28, playing his first grand slam event since the 2006 Australian Open following a series of back operations that saw him fall from number 21 in the world to completely out of the rankings, fought his way through a four-hour second-round tussle with Ivan Navarro of Spain.
