Murray grinds through cramps to win

By Associated Press in New York (China Daily) Updated: 2014-08-27 07:23

Spinning in 70 mph second serves, grabbing at his hamstring during points, Andy Murray gritted his way through head-to-toe cramps to win at the US Open.

Murray outlasted Robin Haase 6-3, 7-6 (6), 1-6, 7-5 in the first round on Monday during an afternoon that was hot but not particularly humid. He was mystified that the cramps came on so early - at the start of the third set after only about an hour and a half on court.

"When it starts to kind of go everywhere, you don't know exactly where it's going to creep up next," he said. "When you stretch one muscle, something else then cramps, too."

It started in the back of his left shoulder and then quickly spread to his forearm. The right-handed Murray couldn't toss the ball high enough to get any pace on his serves.

Between points, he would twist his body to awkwardly stretch his left side. After hitting a winner, he would reach for his quad.

Murray was twice down a break in the fourth set but the 70th-ranked Haase unraveled with a string of unforced errors. He wasted three break points in the final game, when a missed call also cost him.

The eighth-seeded Murray had felt confident in his conditioning after productive training sessions in Miami, where he weathered far more heat and humidity than this. He wondered if something was amiss in his nutrition.

"Cramping in my left forearm?" a bewildered Murray said. "I mean, I didn't use my left forearm a whole lot today."

Haase, also bothered by some cramping, said he didn't eat and drink enough beforehand because of an earlier than expected start - the first match on Louis Armstrong Stadium lasted just 47 minutes. But Murray said dehydration didn't seem to be his problem.

Serving for the fourth set at 5-3, Haase double-faulted on break point to allow Murray to get back on serve. Murray then went up 6-5 when he took Haase's second serve high and whacked a forehand winner.

With Murray trying to serve out the match, Haase hit a deep return on his second break point that might have set him up to win the game. But the ball was called out and, after it was overturned on review, they had to replay the point. This time, Haase hit a volley into the net.

Murray is notorious for suddenly clutching at an ailment after a poorly played point. On this day, though, the misery was clearly real. The two-time major champion went after winners to shorten points, tried to stay upright to keep the strain off his legs. It was just enough to eke out the victory.

"I don't think if it would have gone to five sets I would've been the favorite," Murray said.

Three years ago, he and Haase did go five in New York, with Murray rallying from a two-set deficit to win in the second round.

After Monday's loss, Haase planned to complain to the ATP that he was denied treatment during the match for a sore foot. But the Dutchman insisted he was not distracted by Murray's shows of discomfort.

"I was more busy with myself and I was struggling," Haase said. "I tried to play my game. It didn't bother me what he did."
