Andy Murray would be justified in feeling hard done by at the US Open draw. In a huge test for his opening match at Flushing Meadows, the Briton will face World No. 3 Stefanos Tsitsipas.

While the task at hand looks challenging, Murray gave a positive opinion on his opener against the rising Greek star.

Andy Murray calls opening match against Stefanos Tsitsipas “a good test”

Since turning pro in 2005, Murray brought his own unique style to the game. With an impressive work rate and impeccable shots, the Briton soared to the top of the sport, enjoying an extremely successful 2016.

However, injuries plagued the 34-year-old on more than one occasion. And the Andy Murray competing today is quite far off from that of yesteryears.

Meanwhile, Tsitsipas is one among the upcoming generation of tennis players. Aged just 23, the Greek has the experience of competing in a Grand Slam final, which he did at this year’s French Open. With an impressive physique and power-packed game, Tsitsipas ranks among the favorites to win the tournament.

Earlier today, the Briton admitted his first round match against Tsitsipas will help him determine where he stands in the modern game. He said, “It’s a good test for me to see where I am.”

Many players on the tour may want to avoid Tsitsipas at the US Open, given his current run of form. However, the Briton’s words could add a different dimension to an untested matchup.
