Fernando Verdasco ensured Andy Murray’s return to Grand Slam tennis ended in a four-set defeat in the US Open second round.

The former British number one, playing his first Slam in 14 months, lost 7-5 2-6 6-4 6-4 in New York.

In sweltering conditions, Murray, 31, battled hard but did not have enough to overcome 34-year-old the Spanish 31st seed.

Compatriot Cameron Norrie lost 6-2 2-6 6-4 6-4 to Serbia’s Dusan Lajovic as British singles representation ended.

It was only Murray’s fifth tournament back since having hip surgery in January.
