Former world number one Andy Murray, operated on a hip at the beginning of the year, lost in the second round of the US Open, against Spaniard Fernando Verdasco, 32nd World, 7 / 5-2 / 6-6 / 4-6 / 4.
Murray's previous Grand Slam appearance, which dropped to 382nd place in the world, went back to Wimbledon 2017. The 31-year-old Briton had not replayed the season yet, embarrassed by his right hip. He made his return to competition in mid-June on grass, but had given up playing Wimbledon at the last minute.
In the first round, the Scot had needed more than three hours to defeat the modest Australian James Duckworth, 445th world player, 6 / 7-6 / 3-7 / 5-6 / 3.
Against Verdasco, Murray gave up at 3:23, on court Arthur-Ashe, after a last interminable game, during which he got five opportunities to pick up 5 games 5 everywhere. But Verdasco came out on his third match point.
" It was difficult to conclude the match, " said the 34-year-old Spaniard. " With Andy, it's hard on every point - even if he's not 100% physically after his surgery, he's an incredible fighter. "
For a place in the round of 16, Verdasco will challenge Argentina's Juan Martin Del Potro, the third player in the world, who defeated American Denis Kudla 6 / 3-6 / 1-7 / 6.
It was in New York in 2012 that Murray offered himself the first of his three Grand Slam singles. He then won twice at Wimbledon in 2013 and 2016.
