British teenager Andy Murray earned a controversial five-set victory over Romania's Andrei Pavel in the first round of the U.S. Open.

Qualifier Murray, who has risen to 122 in the rankings this year, eventually won 6-3 3-6 3-6 6-1 6-4 in three hours 18 minutes on the Grandstand Court.

The match featured a 21-minute delay after 18-year-old Murray, making his debut at the event and exhausted in the humid conditions, vomited on the court in the fifth set.

Pavel was later deducted a point after repeatedly swearing at the umpire for over-ruling a line call.
