Andy Murray says that the emergence of a generation of younger British players has helped push him to further heights.
Like Murray, Kyle Edmund and Johanna Konta reached this year's US Open fourth round, while Dan Evans came within a point of joining them before losing to third seed Stan Wawrinka.
"What I like most about practising with them is I have a responsibility to work hard and push myself," Murray said.
Murray takes on Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov in the fourth round on Monday.

The progress of Murray, Edmund and Konta to the fourth round marked the first time that three British singles players have advanced that far at a Grand Slam since 1964.
