TENNIS: US OPEN MURRAY'S 2ND BEST

But Katie breaks new ground

- NEIL McLEMAN

ANDY MURRAY admitted his days of winning Grand Slams could be over after a dispiriting second-round defeat at the US Open.

And the former world No.1, now 36, suggested he will consider quitting if he starts to drop down the rankings and falls out of the top 60.

In the Arthur Ashe Arena, where he claimed his first Major title back in 2012, Murray was a shadow of his old self as he lost 6-3 6-4 6-1 to his old rival Grigor Dimitrov.

The world No.37 has still to get beyond the third round of a Grand Slam since 2017 and before his two hip operations and the insertion of a metal hip.

The Scot, a three-time Grand Slam winner, said: "It's obviously disappointing to not play how you would like. But maybe I need to accept that these events, I had the deep runs and everything that I felt like I'm capable of, they might not be there.
