All six British players reached the second round at the US Open on a spectacular day for British tennis.<\/p>\n
Andy Murray made it through after beating fiery Frenchman Corentin Moutet in straight sets.<\/p>\n
The Scot was joined in round two by Cameron Norrie, Dan Evans, Jack Draper, Katie Boulter and Jodie Burrage, making at a magnificent seven after Lily Miyazaki\u2019s win on Monday.<\/p>\n
Defending champion Carlos Alcaraz is through after Dominik Koepfer retired injured in the second set, while Venus Williams\u2019 24th US Open ended abruptly with a 6-1 6-1 defeat by Greet Minnen.<\/p>\n
Here, the PA news agency looks back at day two at Flushing Meadows.<\/p>\n

Any chance Dominik Koepfer had of beating Carlos Alcaraz ended when he suffered an ankle injury.<\/p>\n
Grigor Dimitrov, the 19th seed, came from two sets down and saved three match points, including two in a final-set tie-break, to beat Alex Molcan in a four-and-a-half hour marathon. His reward? A second-round meeting with Murray.<\/p>\n
Three hours is a lot shorter than some of my matches<\/p>\n
A VAR system to check for incidents such as a double-bounce or hindrance has been introduced this year. But when it was used for the first time, when Moutet challenged a double-bounce call, it did not work properly and proved inconclusive, rather embarrassingly for organisers. Yellow card, surely?<\/p>\n
Men: Karen Khachanov (11), Tallon Griekspoor (24), Ugo Humbert (29).<\/p>\n
Women: Caroline Garcia (7), Donna Vekic (21).<\/p>\n
