US Open umpire suffers new VAR glitch during Andy Murray match

Andy Murray bowed out of the US Open after a dispiriting defeat to his old rival Grigor Dimitrov.

In the 12th meeting between two veterans of the sport, and seven years after their last one, 19th seed Dimitrov registered only his fourth win over the Scot.

Murray wilted inside the Arthur Ashe Stadium, the court upon which he won his first grand slam title in 2012, as he slipped to a 6-3 6-4 6-1 defeat.

Elsewhere, there are five other Brits in second-round singles action, with Katie Boulter and Jack Draper reaching the third round after early-match wins against Yafan Wang and 17th seed Hubert Hurkacz respectively, while Cameron Norrie and Dan Evans are all playing later in the day in New York. Jodie Burrage lost in straight-sets to world No 2 Aryna Sabalenka.

Murray breaks back!

In truth, a sloppy game from Dimitrov. A lapse in concentration, perhaps? A few errors and Murray, this time, capitalises.

Well, well, well...

*Murray 3-6 3-5 Dimitrov

Two double faults in a row hands Murray a break-back point at 30-40, but Murray sends a backhand pass wide after the longest rally of the match at 33 shots!

The Brit then saves a Dimitrov game point with a superb backhand down the line, before Dimitrov seals the game with an overhead smash on deuce and a Murray error into the net on ad.

“Noooooo!” screams Murray. You feel that that needed to be the moment for the 2012 champ to turn this match around.

He’ll now serve to stay in the set...
