Andy Murray has no security fears at US Open - despite fan entering court and approaching female player
The Scot is aiming to add his second US Open title to his Wimbledon crown and Rio 2016 Olympic gold at Flushing Meadows PLUS: Jo Konta health latest
Andy Murray of Great Britain hits a return against Marcel Granollers of Spain
Andy Murray marched into the third round of the US Open after overcoming Marcel Granollers AND a deafening air conditioning system, writes David McCarthy in New York.
Playing under the new £376million roof on the Arthur Ashe court, the noise level from the crowd and the air-cooling pipes made it almost impossible to hear the ball being hit and both players were complaining to the umpire.
That turned the match into one of the most bizarre contests of his career. But while it wasn’t a vintage performance from the Scot, he was never in danger of losing to a player he has beaten seven times in his career.
Murray did more than enough to win in straight sets 6-4 6-1 6-4, despite his serve not firing as effectively as it had done in the first round, and in the end his class told against a Spaniard who is rated No.40 in the world.
But what started off comfortably for Murray turned very strange, on and off the court near the end of the first set.
He even complained about the noise of the rain falling on the roof.
Andy Murray battled past Marcel Granollers in the second round of the US Open
Granollers put up a stern test against the Scot
It’s tough. You couldn’t really hear the ball at all," Murray explained afterwards. "But we’re lucky that we get to play under the roof, so it’s good for everyone.
“I hit quite a lot of winners and although my first-serve percentage wasn’t great, I won a lot on my second serves.
"It was tough, having led 5-2 and had a bunch of set points, but thankfully I got through. It’s tough, and he’s a very tricky guy to play against."
Despite the din, the players managed to serve up an enthralling first set that Murray, who had been in control at 5-2 and had a set-point on Granollers’ serve in the eighth game, almost blew.
The Scot could not convert the chance and promptly lost that game and his own following serve, after missing a second set-point – the first time in the tournament he had been broken.
Suddenly, the Spaniard was back in the match at only 4-5 down.
Murray was furious with himself and what followed was the type of topsy-turvy game that has almost become the norm when Murray is in action.

Lionel Messi goal puts Argentina top of World Cup group
Argentina now lead the 10-nation group with 14 points from seven matches.

Lionel Messi marked his retirement about face with a goal to give 10-man Argentina a 1-0 win over Uruguay on Thursday that lifted them to the top of the South American qualifying group for the 2018 World Cup finals in Russia.
In a match of few chances, Messi created something out of nothing three minutes before halftime when, surrounded by defenders, his shot from outside the box took a deflection on Jose Maria Gimenez and wrongfooted goalkeeper Fernando Muslera.
It took Messi’s record as Argentina’s top scorer to 56 in his 114th international and proved the perfect insurance for his team who were reduced to 10 men when young forward Paulo Dybala was sent off on the stroke of halftime.
Dybala, who had almost put his side ahead in the 31st minute with a shot that hit the post, was sent off for a second booking and left the pitch in tears after his first start for Argentina.
Uruguay, who had spent virtually the entire first half defending, took the game to Argentina in the second but hardly troubled goalkeeper Sergio Romero.
“I wanted to be here after all the confusion I’d caused by first saying I wasn’t coming and then that I was,” Messi told reporters.
Messi said in June he was quitting international soccer after the disappointment of losing the Copa America final on penalties to Chile.
“From the moment I said that, the fans showed me a lot of affection and I’m really grateful, I couldn’t not come back.”
Argentina now lead the 10-nation group with 14 points from seven matches, one point more than Uruguay, Colombia and Ecuador in the four qualification places.
Brazil, who beat Ecuador 3-0 in Quito with two goals by teenager Gabriel Jesus, are fifth — which would put them in an inter-continental playoff for one more berth.
All four coaches who were taking charge of their first matches won, including Argentina’s Edgardo Bauza, who now takes his side to play bottom team Venezuela away on Tuesday.
Brazil’s Tite will be looking to confirm their improvement at home against Colombia, who beat Venezuela 2-0.
Paraguay, under new coach Francisco Arce, upset Copa America holders Chile 2-1 in Asuncion to climb to sixth also with 12 points and play Uruguay next in Montevideo.
Bolivia gave their new coach Guillermo Hoyos a winning start with a 2-0 home win over Peru and face seventh-placed Chile away next.
Ecuador, who had made a fine start to the qualifiers with a 2-0 away victory over Argentina last year as the first of four successive wins, face Peru in Lima.
I’m frustrated not to be in England ODI XI week in week out: Jonny Bairstow
Jonny Bairstow, who has already scored nearly 1,000 runs in Test cricket this year, is desperate to make the most of any one-day chances he gets.

Jonny Bairstow is determined to nail down a place in England’s one-day team after his latest ‘supersub’ display helped condemn Pakistan to a defeat on his Headingley home ground.
First-choice Test wicket-keeper Bairstow was only told he was playing by England coach Trevor Bayliss just over half an hour before the start of the match after regular one-day gloveman Jos Buttler suffered a hamstring injury inthe warm-up.
Bairstow responded with an assured display behind the stumps.
He then made a brisk 61 and helped Ben Stokes (69) add 103 for the fifth wicket as England, who had stumbled to 72 for four chasing a target of 248, eventually won by four wickets to go 4-0 up in this five-match series.
Last year Bairstow guided England to a one-day series clinching win over New Zealand — a key-staging post in their recovery from a dismal first-round exit at the 2015 World Cup — with an unbeaten 83 at Chester-le-Street after Buttler was ruled out with a hand injury.
There has been talk of England, the hosts of both the 2017 Champions Trophy and 2019 World Cup one-day tournaments, playing both Buttler and Bairstow in the same white-ball side, with one of them featuring as a specialist batsman.
But in the meantime Bairstow, who has already scored nearly 1,000 runs in Test cricket this year, is desperate to make the most of any one-day chances he gets, however late they come.
‘Special group’
“It was about 32 minutes before the start,” Bairstow said after being asked when he knew he was playing in front of his adoring Yorkshire public yesterday.
“Trev came over and just said, ‘You’re in’.” However, with England on the up in one-day cricket, Bairstow wants to be more than a white-ball ‘reserve’.
“It’s a special group of players and we believe we can go a long way in world competitions and series,” he said.
“But naturally I’m frustrated not to be in that XI week in week out.
“Every time I get an opportunity I want to try to impress and that’s all I can do.
“Whether that be keeping wicket, just playing as a batter, batting at one or 11 — every time you go out there you try to do your best.
“You’ve just got to take it on the chin, crack on and hope you take the opportunity when it does come along,” added Bairstow ahead of Sunday’s series finale in Cardiff.
Bairstow, the son of late former Yorkshire and England wicket-keeper David Bairstow, looked considerably younger than his 26 years yesterday, having shaved off his beard after receiving a message from his mother, Janet, a Headingley administrator.

England hit one-day international world record score of 444 against Pakistan as Alex Hales dazzles
Eoin Morgan's men passed the 443 that Sri Lanka scored against Holland in 2006 with Alex Hales hitting a record 171 to break Robin Smith's 23-year-old record
England have broken the world record for the highest one-day international score ever with a sensational innings of 444/3 against Pakistan in the third ODI at Trent Bridge.
Alex Hales led the way when he broke the record for England's highest ever one-day innings, hitting 171 to surpass the 167 that Robin Smith claimed against Australia in 1993.
Playing on his home ground, the Notts batsman launched Hasan Ali for four to ease past Smith's mark, but was out on the very next ball when Hasan trapped him.
That ended hopes of a maiden ODI double-hundred from an England batsman, but his remarkable innings was a huge boost for Eoin Morgan's hopes of wrapping up a series win.

Hales put England on the way to a world record total
Hales enjoyed a second-wicket stand of 248 with Joe Root, hitting 22 fours and four sixes from 122 balls as the hosts piled on the runs in the third of the five-game series.
Root maneuvered his way to a fifth consecutive ODI half-century, but was out soon after Hales, falling for 85.

But the pair falling did little to slow down England, as Butler was
the next to take centre stage with a swashbuckling 90 not out, alongside
skipper Morgan who remained at the crease with him on 57.
That
meant England not only bettered their highest-ever ODI total of 408 for
nine against New Zealand last year, but also outscored the 443 that Sri
Lanka claimed against Holland in 2006.
