US Open tennis: Andy Murray, Johanna Konta & Kyle Edmund lead Britons at US Open

Britain's Andy Murray is set to play at a Grand Slam for the first time in almost 14 months as he continues his comeback from hip surgery at the US Open in New York.

The 31-year-old has not played at a major tournament since losing in the Wimbledon quarter-finals last year.

The Scot pulled out of this year's Wimbledon on the eve of the Championships, saying he was not ready to compete in five-set matches following surgery in January.

The former world number one, who won his first Slam title at the US Open in 2012, is now ranked 378th in the world but will compete at Flushing Meadows because of his protected ranking.
