US Open: When and where to watch?

The US Open second-round match between Andy Murray and Grigor Dimitrov begins from 9:30 PM IST on Thursday and will be telecast live on  Sony Sports network while the live streaming will be available on Sony Liv.

Murray, who won his maiden Slam in New York in 2012, comes into the second-round clash after a 6-2, 7-5, 6-3 victory over Frenchman Corentin Moutet in almost three hours on Tuesday. It was the 200th Grand Slam main draw win for the former World No. 1, who is working his way back from hip surgeries.

There was a moment of controversy in that tie as Moutet wanted to challenge a double-bounce call that went against him but the US Open’s new video replay system did not work as the chair umpire’s tablet malfunctioned, preventing her from watching video footage and forcing the original call of a point for Murray to stand.

While Dimitrov is looking to reach the third round in New York for the first time since his semifinal-run in 2019, Murray is eyeing his 50th win at Flushing Meadows.
