ANDY MURRAY rushed to check on Corentin Moutet after the flashy Frenchman suffered a heavy fall.<\/p>\n
The duo were in first round action at the US Open yesterday.<\/p>\n
\n
\n<\/p>\n
Murray and Moutet engaged in some gruelling rallies, although more often than not it was the Brit who was coming out on top.<\/p>\n
After Murray had taken a two sets lead, Moutet suffered a heavy fall on the baseline.<\/p>\n
The 24-year-old appeared to land on his wrist and looked in serious pain.<\/p>\n
A gracious sportsman that knows his fair share about rotten luck with injuries, Murray went around the net posts to see if his opponent was okay.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
After receiving treatment, Moutet was able to continue in the match, but Murray found himself in full control.<\/p>\n
The 36-year-old prevailed 6-2, 7-5, 6-3 to move into the second round at Flushing Meadows.<\/p>\n
In addition to being impressed by his performance, fans loved Murray's care for his opponent.<\/p>\n
