Andy Murray: 'Adrian Mannarino match was extremely tough'

Andy Murray says that his five-set victory over Adrian Mannarino was "extremely tough".

Andy Murray has described his US Open second-round match against Adrian Mannarino as "extremely tough".

The Frenchman took a shock two-set lead but Murray bounced back to win 5-7 4-6 6-1 6-3 6-1.

"He was hitting the ball very well, very flat, and pushing me back to the baseline. I didn't win enough break points but I just managed to fight through," Murray told Sky Sports News.

"The beginning of the fourth set was extremely tough physically, with a lot of running and some long games but I managed to get through."

The world number three will play against Thomaz Bellucci in the third round.
