Men's Report On US Open

Djokovic
Serbian world No 1 Novak Djokovic squashed another American hope, pounding Sam Querrey 6-3 6-2 6-2 on Saturday to reach the fourth round of the US Open for the eighth straight year.
Djokovic, a finalist the last four years, winning it all in 2011, improved his record to perfect 8-0 when facing American opponents at Flushing Meadows.
Eighth-seeded Andy Murray needed four sets to get past Andrey Kuznetsov in humid, overcast conditions, his first day match since he battled cramps over much of his body in a first-round victory over Robin Haase. "I ate properly, I drank properly, I felt a lot better today," he said.
That sets up an intriguing fourth-round matchup with No 9 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, who overcame tough winds in the Grandstand to beat Pablo Carreno Busta 6-4, 6-4, 6-4. His prediction: "I will come on the court as a fighter."
Tenth-seeded Kei Nishikori advanced in straight sets against No 23 Leonardo Mayer, and fifth-seeded Milos Raonic took three straight tiebreakers over Victor Estrella Burgos, who at 34 was the oldest man left in the draw.
Australian Open champion Stan Wawrinka, meanwhile, reached fourth round by walkover when Slovenian Blaz Kavcic withdrew from their third-round match with a right foot injury.
Switzerland's Wawrinka, the third seed who broke through for his first Grand Slam title in Melbourne in January, next faces either 16th-seeded Spaniard Tommy Robredo or Australian Nick Kyrgios, who shocked Rafael Nadal in the fourth round at Wimbledon.
