TENNIS : ANDY MURRAY CHASES 2ND US OPEN TITLE, FACES LUKAS ROSOL IN FIRST ROUND !

Back-to-Back Olympic Champion Andy Murray starts his quest for his second US Open title with rather interesting, if not exciting, hump in the first round - facing the unpredictable Lukas Rosol. In case you already forgot, Lukas Rosol is the man who handed Rafael Nadal his shock second-round defeat at Wimbledon in 2012. Rosol, then just ranked No. 100 in the world, defeated Nadal in a brutal 5-set duel - his win almost a miracle, it was called a "mi-rosol"! It was one of the biggest upsets in recent history. Does Rosol still have the venom to slay another giant? Andy Murray, fresh from his historic win at the Rio Olympics, where he snatched an unprecedented second, back-to-back Olympic Gold in Tennis Singles, looks unperturbed. He is poised to add a fourth Grand Slam under his belt. Will Novak Djokovic disagree?
