Still waiting for a reaction from Andy Murray as the dust settles on his fourth round exit. We will have budgets soon along with a match report. And also keep an eye out for the inside word from Jack Draper. It looked like a hamstring/groin issue caused his retirement, but we’ll see what he has to say in due course.
Updated at 10.01pm BST
A disappointing night for the Brits with Andy Murray losing in four sets to Berrettini and Jack Draper pulling out with injury as he looked to be leading against Khachanov.
On the other hand, Cam Norrie and Dan Evans are yet to play, both will be in action tomorrow, so there is still a chance for British representation in the round of 16.
Meanwhile, Berrettini has been giving his reaction to that four-set win over Murray.
You learn a little about the past. I wasn’t aggressive enough on break points, but that’s tennis. Murray played a very good set not to be broken, but I was feeling better. I had more opportunities. I thought the same in the fourth set. I had my chances and I took them.
What I tell myself all the time is that it’s normal to get tight. That’s what I told myself when I played Gael [Monfils] A few years ago. I double faulted on match point. It is normal. We hear about it. That’s life. I told myself next time I’ll try to be braver and that’s what I tried to do in the fourth set.
Draper retires injured against Khachanov
Khanchanov wins 6-3, 4-6, 6-5 (withdrawal)
What a shame for the 20-year-old Brit who decides he can’t go on. Seems like a smart move as he had clearly lost all mobility and risked further injury. Had this been the final set, there might have been an argument to hang on in the hope of hitting a few winners, but there was too much of the game to go. Still, it’s been a tournament to remember and we can look forward to seeing a lot more of it.

For the second service game in progress, Draper breaks Khachanov with a double fault. He runs his hands through his hair and now it’s almost impossible to see him flipping this one.

Draper gets his cheeks in as another slam dunk attempt for a winner goes wide. From 5-2, it’s now 5-5 and Khachanov is growing in strength as his opponent limps between points.

Draper has clearly lost some momentum and drops his serve to 15. Now there is speculation in the commentary box as to whether it is wise to continue. He doesn’t want to risk a long-term injury. “Your health is your wealth,” warns Rusedski.

Draper 3-6, 6-4, 5-3 Khachanov* (* indicates server)
As is often the case when facing a semi-injured opponent, Khachanov looks a little spooked. Part of his brain tells him to take advantage of the physical advantage he may have now, but another part tells him he doesn’t need to, as his opponent is hooked and might give up. As the internal battle continues, Khachanov holds on, but Draper will now serve for the whole.

Draper’s well-being is hard to call. There is something wrong and he is clearly trying to score points quickly instead of getting bogged down in long rallies. He faces two break points but, despite the discomfort, escapes trouble to win the match and go 5-2 ahead. Maybe the pain meds will kick in soon and he’ll start moving a little easier.

Berrettini celebrates his victory over Andy Murray.
Draper 3-6, 6-4, 4-2 Khachanov* (* indicates server)
Good news. Jack comes back and wins the first two points on Khachanov’s serve.
Bad news: He loses the next two and seems to walk a little gingerly, pulling up after a forehand and shaking his head a bit. Hopefully it’s a response to the stroke rather than the injury.
Big news: Draper forces break point and takes it with a brilliant passing forehand to take a 4-2 lead.
More Andy Murray reaction later, but for now let’s focus on Jack Draper. Oh, while I turned around, the young Brit is getting treatment for his “back and groin area,” according to Greg Rusedski. It’s clearly a problem and Draper leaves the court to do more checks. “Hopefully the physical therapist can work his magic,” adds Rusedski, so maybe that’s not too big of a problem.
Draper will be desperate to continue after putting himself in a strong position. Khachanov took the first set, but Draper won the second 6-4 and was 3-2 in the third before the medical timeout.
Murray loses in four sets to Berrettini
Berrettini wins 6-4, 6-4, 6-7 (1), 6-3
Murray wins the first point but his opponent is too strong and serves out to claim victory in four sets. Murray’s challenge is over. He fought hard and put Berrettini under pressure, but that was a step too far against an opponent who has been a force at the Grand Slam in recent seasons.

*Murray 4-6, 4-6, 7-6 (1), 3-5 Berrettini (* indicates server)
The eighth game of the third set begins with Murray once again questioning his own sanity and dropping an F-bomb after an attempted shot at the net. He wins the next but Berrettini has him against the ropes again forcing two more break points. This time the Italian will not be denied and a break at 15 leaves Berrettini serving for the match. Does Murray have anything left?
In the stands, Jack Draper is having a blast, racing to a 3-0 lead in the third set after breaking 27th seed Khachanov in the second game.

The pressure is now on Berrettini at 30-30, but scoring an ace 18 relieves it temporarily. Murray steps it up by forcing a break point and Berrettini’s face looks tense as he contemplates the worst. But Murray lets the chance slip, Berrettini digging deep and emerging 4-3 in front.

It’s still up for Murray and you think a poor service game could prove fatal. We get to 30-all again on Murray’s serve and the next point is huge. Fortunately for the 2012 winner, he volleys over the net for a game point and Berrettini is forced into a backhand error to make it 3-3. Murray’s fitness is holding up well and I dare say his movement even looked cheerful as he moved to receive Berrettini’s next serve. And to think he has a metal hip.
Murray 4-6, 4-6, 7-6 (1), 2-3 Berrettini* (* indicates server)
Berrettini’s forehand goes long to give Murray the first point, but it is his only gain of the game as his opponent wins the next four for a fairly comfortable hold. Murray, as instructed by Ivan Lendl on the sidelines, is trying to move Berrettini, but he’s not quite out yet.
*Murray 4-6, 4-6, 7-6 (1), 2-2 Berrettini (* indicates server)
Murray could do with a pressure-free service game and looks right at him as he opens his body and drills a forehand winner for 40-0. Two points later and the game is theirs. Game time on this one: 3 hours 23 minutes.

Murray threatens to extend the early break as he gets to 40-30, but Berrettini heads him on the pass with a deft touch at the net to make it 2-1 in the quarter. A quick stat check: Berrettini has fired 16 aces to Murray’s four and has 50 winners to the Scot’s 22.
Draper is level at all against Khachanov after winning the second 6-4
Draper trailed 2-1 early in the second but the 20-year-old Brit really found his mojo here and broke his opponent twice to take the second set 6-4 and level the match after 90 minutes of action in the tribune

Wouldn’t you know it, after all that hard work to break Berrettini, Murray loses his own opening service game at love. This came out of nowhere. Berrettini looks vulnerable when under pressure from the scoreboard, but Murray let him off the hook completely there.
Murray 4-6, 4-6, 7-6 (1), 1-0 Berrettini* (* indicates server)
Four times in his career Murray has come from two sets down to win a match at the US Open. Can he do it again, at 35? He needs to start putting pressure on Berrettini’s serve and he does so here, with a slingshot forehand that secures two break points. He made just two in the game and took the third as Berrettini sent the backhand into the net. A break and, for now, the momentum is with Murray.
The temperature has dropped, which helps Murray’s cause. As does the fact that he now seems to have most of the crowd pulling for him after that display of guts in the third set. The players are having refreshments before the fourth set.
Back to Jack Draper’s bid to make the fourth round and he is currently 4-3 up in the second set against Karen Khachanov after losing the first. As I write this, it goes 4-4.
Murray wins the third set tie-break 7-1 to stay alive
Well, where did that come from?! Murray lost the first point of the tie-break on his own serve, but then fought back in the next seven to win the third set 7-6 (1). Don’t rule it out just yet! Berrettini saw eight points claimed in that set and definitely stepped up at key moments. But Murray has…
