Must see 1st round US Open matches including Tsitsipas - Murray

Every time a grand slam comes around we get several high-profile 1st round matches between players that realistically should not play each other so early. The 2021 US Open is no exception and down below you can see all the matches that you should not miss.

The first one of those matches is between Stefanos Tsitsipas and Andy Murray. Tsitsipas has shown a solid level of tennis before the US Open however the Greek is still not there in terms of level to challenge for the event. Neither is Murray who is battling every week but fails to produce high levels of tennis consistently. Either way, this is one not to miss.
