Boulter, Burrage, Draper, Evans, Murray and Norrie all won to advance to the second round at the US Open
The two-time Wimbledon champion, a winner here in 2012, overcame an unorthodox and awkward opponent 6-2, 7-5, 6-3 to become the eighth male player in the Open era to reach the double-century.
However, Murray had a let-off when Moutet double-faulted on set point, and then a lucky net cord helped the Scot break back. But Murray struck at the next opportunity and served out for victory – following a video replay check for a double-bounce which, embarrassingly for organisers who introduced it this year, proved inconclusive – in just under three hours.
Murray will meet Bulgarian 19th seed Grigor Dimitrov, who saved three match points in a five-setter against Alex Molcan, in the second round.
