- Konta beats Russian veteran 6-4, 6-2
- Murray’s run ends, Djokovic cruises past Sandgren
Two weeks after teetering on breathless collapse in her Tour comeback, Johanna Konta played with near-unbreakable focus in searing New York heat on Tuesday to break down the Russian veteran Vera Zvonareva and move to within two wins of reaching her first Cincinnati Open final.
But Andy Murray’s return to action suffered a blow with a straight-sets 6-2, 6-2 defeat to Milos Raonic in the weather-affected third round of the men’s competition, while the ATP world No 1, Novak Djokovic, moved through after beating the heavy, late-evening rain and the eccentric American Tennys Sandgren 6-2, 6-4.
