Murray sizes up “volatile” opponent
Andy Murray must overcome France’s world number 72 Corentin Moutet if he is to make it through to a second-round clash with 19th seed Grigor Dimitrov of Bulgaria.
Speaking about today’s opponent, the Scot said: “I’ve not played against him, but I practised with him once, he’s an unbelievably talented guy.
“He’s not the biggest, he tends to play quite long points but he’s got tons of variety and good hands at the net.
“He can be a bit volatile at times but yeah, a good challenge for me, very different to how most players play in the draw.
“A lot of the game nowadays is based on power and serves and he’s the opposite really. A good test for me.”

Andy Murray: getting over Wimbledon exit took time
Andy Murray admitted he had to go away and lick his wounds after his Wimbledon disappointment.
The Scot was leading world number five Stefanos Tsitsipas 2-1 in their second-round match when the 11pm curfew kicked in.
It seemed the momentum was with Murray but when the match resumed the following day, the two-time champion was beaten in five sets.
Speaking seven weeks on from his Wimbledon exit, Murray revealed it took a few days to get over the narrow defeat, but he quickly set about working on areas of his game which he could improve.
“I went away on holiday straight afterwards,” he said. “Always immediately after matches, especially Wimbledon, at majors there’s greater disappointment and greater emotions than at any other time in the year.
“Probably after three or four days of being away from it, I chatted to my team about things that I feel I need to change, certain shots in my game if I wanted to win more of those matches and dictate more of those matches.
“So I did that, went away and worked on things for a period of time.”
The 33-year-old also slammed Wimbledon’s late matches, which allowed Stitsipas to get back into the game. Click here to read more about Murray’s reaction to his Wimbledon loss.

Six Britons in action
Hello and welcome to Telegraph Sport’s coverage of day two of the US Open.
There are six Britons in action today, with Katie Boulter getting proceedings under way against France’s Diane Parry at 4pm.
She is followed by Andy Murray, who begins his tournament with a first round match against Corentin Moutet of France scheduled for 6.30pm.
It is now 11 years since Murray secured his first grand slam crown at Flushing Meadows. The 36-year-old has shown signs of promise in 2023, reaching the third round of the Australian Open in January and pushing fifth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas close in a five-set loss at Wimbledon.
However, the 33-year-old has been troubled by injury and was forced to withdraw from Cincinnati earlier this month with an abdominal strain. If he overcomes world No 71 Moutet, he is due a tough second-round clash with 19th seed Grigor Dimitrov of Bulgaria.
Cameron Norrie, Dan Evans and Jack Draper also begin their campaigns in the men’s competition today, while Jodie Burrage joins Boulter in the women’s draw.
Norrie has lost four consecutive matches since Wimbledon, while Draper has struggled with a shoulder injury all summer. Evans, meanwhile, endured a difficult run of defeats before winning the biggest title of his career in Washington.
They will all hope to match the form of British qualifier Lily Miyazaki, who won her first main draw Grand Slam singles match on Monday with a scintillating straight-sets victory against Margarita Betova.
