Andy Murray played a very solid match to beat an erratic Francisco Cerundolo in New York in straight sets and move on to the
US Open.
The Brit was very worried about the conditions in New York ahead of this event as he battled cramps this year more than once. It cost him a couple of wins as well but he handled it really well winning in three sets. He did mention the tricky conditions once more:
"It was very tricky conditions today. Very humid and hot. I am very happy with the way I got through that one, it was not easy. He has had a brilliant year this year and I knew I had to play well and I did in the important moments."
Murray has coach Ivan Lendl with him in New York and it's important for Murray who admitted that he appreciates it a lot:
"To have him [Lendl] there supporting me is really important. We have had great results together. He is still there supporting me at this stage in my career when many people wouldn't. So I really appreciate the time he is taking to do that."
