  • SuggestedLeadIn: Reaction from Andy Murray and Nick Kyrgios following Murray's first round win over the Australian at the US Open

    Script: SOUNDBITE: (English) Andy Murray, defeated Nick Kyrgios 7-5, 6-3, 4-6, 6-1:

    "Like I said, I expected a very, very tough match. But it was hard for me to kind of go out there and be like really aggressive or play the way I wanted to because it's very hard against him. He's a very powerful guy. He goes for unpredictable shots. You don't know exactly what to expect each point. A lot of the time I felt like I was just reacting and ended up having to do quite a bit of defending and running because of that. But against him you're going to have to play that way at times."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Andy Murray, defeated Nick Kyrgios 7-5, 6-3, 4-6, 6-1:

    "But, yeah, almost all the matches that I've played, there have been a couple points where I have laughed on the court or smiled because some of the stuff is funny. I mean, when he let go of the racquet today after the forehand, I mean, that only happens to him. Went into the crowd. I mean, yeah, that's funny when you're playing against him. But you need to try to concentrate on your side as much as you can.

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Nick Kyrgios, lost to Andy Murray 7-5, 6-3, 4-6, 6-1 (asked what went wrong in the match):

    "That's a bit rough saying 'wasted chances.' I thought I created opportunities. I tried to take them. I thought he served pretty clutch in certain situations. His defence was unbelievable again tonight.

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Nick Kyrgios, lost to Andy Muray 7-5, 6-3, 4-6, 6-1 (asked whether the recent controversy with Stan Wawrinka took its toll against Murray):

    "No, I wouldn't say so much tonight. I thought I've been dealing with that pretty well. Obviously it's been tough. But I think I've moved on from it. I thought I put in a really good performance tonight. Obviously it's not the result I wanted. But I thought I was focused and ready for today. I had a good preparation."
