What channel is Andy Murray on? US Open second round TV details, start time, American opponent

Andy Murray is back in action at the US Open on Wednesday as he bids to reach the third round for the first time since 2016.

Despite battling cramp issues in the build-up to the tournament, Murray looked in good shape as he overcame Argentine 24th seed Francisco Cerundolo in a straight-sets first round win at Flushing Meadows on Monday.

It was a convincing victory for the former world number one, but Murray, who won his maiden Grand Slam in New York 10 years ago, admittted afterwards that the match "felt like five sets to me, it was tricky conditions, very humid and hot".
