Speaking about the US Open defending champion Emma Raducanu, Murray said, “I think she played really well last week. I think the balls that they use over here help. They’re a lot lighter – that allows her to get a little bit more on her shots and serve, and she seemed like she enjoyed the conditions last week. I’d imagine with them being quick here as well in New York that she’ll enjoy them. I’d her expect her to play well next week.”

Further, he also expected world number 9 Cameron Norrie to do well in the tournament. “I think he probably prefers the court slightly slower, but certainly, the heat and humidity is a positive for him and the ball bouncing and jumping a lot can help certain parts of his game,” Murray added.
