US Open: Andy Murray favourite over Novak Djokovic, says Greg Rusedski

Andy Murray should be favourite for the final tennis major of the year, the US Open, according to Greg Rusedski.

The Scot is seeded second behind Novak Djokovic for next week's event at Flushing Meadows.

But former British number one Rusedski believes the Serb's form does not live up to his ranking.

"I would say he is slightly the second favourite," he said. "If you look at his form, he lost in the third round of Wimbledon and Olympics first round."

Murray won his second Wimbledon title and went on to win a second successive Olympic gold in the singles in Rio.
