US Open 2023: Andy Murray 'playing best’ since hip operation

Andy Murray believes he is playing his best tennis since a career-saving hip operation as he prepares to face old rival Grigor Dimitrov in the US Open second round.

Murray, 36, is one of six British players aiming to reach round three at Flushing Meadows on Thursday.

Cameron Norrie, Dan Evans, Jack Draper, Katie Boulter and Jodie Burrage also play on day four of the tournament.

"I'm at my highest ranking (37) since I had my metal hip put in," Murray said.

"I'm happy with that. It's not been an easy journey. I would like to be ranked higher but this is the best I've played consistently since 2017.
