Summary

He was down two sets to love. He was down a break in the third. He was down match point. And he was down a break in the decider. But Andy Murray still managed to beat Yoshito Nishioka on Tuesday at the US Open in his first Grand Slam singles match since the 2019 Australian Open.

We discuss how he did it, the reason for his slow start, and how he's holding up physically.

We also cover Jo Konta's mood and form after her defeat of compatriot Heather Watson, Serena Williams' opener, an epic between Karen Khachanov and Jannik Sinner, and much more.

The Tennis Podcast is presented by Catherine Whitaker and David Law, and features Matt Roberts. It is produced weekly year-round, and daily during the Grand Slam tournaments. It is crowdfunded by listeners each December.

0:00.0	Hi everyone, before we start our US Open day 2 podcast, we'd just like to send our best wishes to
0:05.9	Carla Suarez Navarro, the former world number 6 who's revealed today that she's been diagnosed
0:11.5	with Hodgkin's lymphoma. Carla had been hoping to play the US Open, this her final year as a
0:17.3	tennis professional, but she's been forced to withdraw from it after feeling unwell. She said
0:23.3	on her social media channels that she underwent some tests to try to find out what was wrong,
0:28.2	the condition has been detected early she said, but she will now undergo a six month course of
0:34.4	chemotherapy. All of us at the tennis podcast will keep Carla in our thoughts over the next few
0:39.6	months and we wish her a full recovery as soon as possible. Hi, this is Mary and Bartori. I'm
0:46.6	Matt Vylander, this is Mary Carillo, I'm San Roenca, I'm like New York, I'm Andy Murray,
0:51.3	this is Janik Noah and you're listening to the tennis podcast.
1:05.6	Right okay, day two of the US Open, how on earth did Andy Murray do that, Catherine Whitaker? He's just

1:25.6	what's going on? Well, I said to Tim Hemen who we had in our prime video studio, I said, Tim,
1:31.6	if you had to attribute that comeback to one thing and one thing only, I think we're on a time
1:37.4	limit, what would it be? And he said, heart. And I think, I mean, obviously that is a word that
1:46.7	covers a broad spectrum of things, all of them are totally embodied by Andy Murray, persistence,
1:56.8	tenacity, dog idness, stubbornness, but absolute heart is what got him through a very bizarre tennis
2:08.8	match today. I mean, I'm sure in the annals of time, we won't remember the weirdness of the match,
2:15.6	that was sort of all fade away and remember the school line and the emotion and whatever
2:20.9	ends up coming in the aftermath. But it was a rocky ride of a tennis match for a long time.
2:30.0	Someone on Twitter said that there was once a race horse who died and when they cut the race
