Murray defeated Novak Djokovic 7–6(10), 7–5, 2–6, 3–6, 6–2 in the 2012 US Open final.
A year ago, Murray fell to Felix Auger-Aliassime in the US Open second round weeks after the former world No. 1 toppled seventh-ranked Alexander Zverev at the Western & Southern Open played at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows.
The 2021 US Open will be played August 30th-September 12th.
