Lucky Murry

Andy Murray

Andy Murray described his mindset for the rest of the US Open as "playing with the house's money" after his narrow escape against Robin Haase.

The Scot was hit by cramp throughout his body after winning the first two sets of his opening-round match on Monday and admitted he was very close to defeat.
Haase served for the fourth set but could not take advantage of his opponent's troubles.
Murray told the BBC: "I was lucky to come through, I could easily be on the plane home. So I'm playing with the house's money and I'll just try and go out there and do the best I can."
The eighth seed practised in the heat of the day on Tuesday with British No 2 James Ward, who is still hoping to get into the main draw as a lucky loser.
Murray reported no ill effects from his ordeal but will no doubt welcome the fact his second-round match against German Matthias Bachinger will not be played until Thursday, giving him two days to fully recover.
He still does not know exactly why the cramp came on but suspects he got his eating and drinking wrong.
Murray said: "I felt physically ready, it was just a strange situation yesterday. Hopefully I'll pull up fine over the next couple of days.
