Andy Murray feeling much better after straight-sets win at US Open

Andy Murray made a special request to play Brazil’s Thomaz Bellucci later so he could rest his weary legs and the British number one conserved energy on court too with a comfortable straight-sets victory.

Murray survived two draining opening encounters against Nick Kyrgios and Adrian Mannarino in Flushing Meadows but his 6-3 6-2 7-5 win over Bellucci to reach the last 16 was far more comfortable.
