If you only looked at the respective rankings of the four players in Monday's night draw at the 2016 U.S. Open, there would appear to be little chance for drama. 

No. 2 Andy Murray takes on No. 22 Grigor Dimitrov in the first match under the lights at Arthur Ashe Stadium, followed by No. 4 Agnieszka Radwanska against unseeded Ana Konjuh.

It's been a fairly tough slog for Dimitrov, who needed five sets to top Jeremy Chardy in the second round and four to move past Joao Sousa on Saturday. Though he's ground through some tough moments in this tournament, Dimitrov's spirits are soaring. 

"I have started to enjoy the process again. I'm enjoying the work again. I'm enjoying waking up in the morning early to come to practice. I'm enjoying doing the ice baths again. I'm enjoying pretty much everything that I do," he said, per the Agence France...
