Scot ready for Llodra clash

TennisAndy Murray is eyeing revenge over French left-hander Michael Llodra in today's US Open second round singles clash.

The British number one was sent crashing out of the Olympics doubles tournament earlier this month, when partnering brother Jamie, by Llodra and Arnaud Clement.

The US Open sixth seed did get the better of the Frenchman, world-ranked 38, in their only singles meeting, which was indoors in Metz last October, and sounds confident.

"Llodra is really talented," said the Scot.

"He played really well at the start of the year and hasn't had too much success lately, but (he is) a tricky, serve-volley, lefty.

"I played him once before in Metz and won quite comfortably but I think he's playing a bit better than he was when I beat him."
