Much has been made of Andy Murray's struggles this season, but he showed his dominance yet again in the opening round of the 2014 U.S. Open. Murray trudged through a 6-3, 7-6 (6), 1-6, 7-5 victory over Robin Haase in Flushing Meadows Monday to advance.

"I didn't know whether to go for it in the third or try to conserve energy. ... It was tough, but it was also tough for Robin, too."

I have been playing well the last few weeks. I lost to guys who had won the events, and had quite big opportunities in both those matches.
