Murray through to last eight at Flushing Meadows

Andy Murray put two days of weather misery behind him to beat Donald Young 6-2 6-3 6-3 and reach the quarter-finals of the US Open.

Rain had prevented all but three games of the match, which had been scheduled to begin on Tuesday, being played, and when it did finally get going in earnest Murray wasted little time.

Perhaps understandably, the world number four was not at his best, and he will need to improve his serve substantially if he is to go further, but a quick victory was just what the circumstances required.
