Defending champion Andy Murray rallied from a set down to complete the men’s quarterfinal lineup at the U.S. Open, where top seeds Novak Djokovic and Serena Williams lost a combined three games in dominant wins.
Murray, the No. 3 seed from Scotland, lost the first set in a tiebreak to Denis Istomin before recovering for a 6-7 (5-7), 6-1, 6-4, 6-4 victory last night at the National Tennis Center in New York. Istomin, of Uzbekistan, was the last unseeded player left in the men’s draw at the season’s final Grand Slam tournament.
