Andy Murray reached the third round at the US Open after defeating German qualifier Matthias Bachinger on Arthur Ashe at Flushing Meadows.
In windy conditions, Murray made short work of Bachinger taking the match 6-3, 6-3, 6-4 in one hour and 46 minutes to set up a third round clash with Russian World No.96 Andrey Kuznetsov.
Speaking after the match, Murray said: "It was extremely windy today. That was the hardest part about the conditions; just very, very breezy and difficult to play close to the lines. But I hit the ball well considering, served better, and obviously I moved a bit better today, as well."
