Andy Murray needed 1 hour, 10 minutes to win his first set, then breezed through the next two, advancing to the second round of the U.S. Open with a 7-6 (5), 6-2, 6-3 victory Wednesday over Somdev Devvarman.
Murray, in search of his first grand slam title, was leading top-ranked Novak Djokovic in the final at Cincinnati earlier this month when Djokovic retired with a shoulder injury for only his second loss of the year.
Murray went down a break early in the first set but battled back to force a tiebreaker. After winning that, he slowly wore down his opponent, a 26-year-old from India who has never been past the second round in a Grand Slam.
