- Murray requests emergency ice bath to aid recovery
- ‘My toes are the worst part. My body hurts’
Andy Murray revealed after his five-set marathon at the US Open that he was walking on aching toes and would ask the tournament organisers for “an emergency ice bath” to recover from his first-round win over Yoshihito Nishioka.
“My toes are the worst part,” said the 2012 US Open champion after coming through his first grand slam match for 20 months in nearly five hours. “The big toes are pretty beat up. But I did alright, physically. At the beginning of the match I was apprehensive about playing a long match, you pace yourself. You do that as a junior when you come into the seniors.”
