Andy Murray said he would keep trying to win Grand Slams after crashing out of the US Open second round in straight sets Felix Auger-Aliassime on Thursday. The former World No. 1 was demolished by the Canadian 15th seed 6-2, 6-3, 6-4. But Murray said he was pleased with how his metal hip coped in his first Grand Slam outing since the 2019 Australian Open. "I'm more positive about what I can do in Grand Slams before I came over here," said Murray.

Injury problems

The Scotsman is trying to rebuild his career after an injury-ravaged three years, and currently sits 115th in the world rankings. "I feel like I'm back at square one having not played Slams for a few years," said Murray. "I need to build up my body and my physical conditioning so that I have the ability to back up five-set matches. That takes a bit of time, unfortunately."
