Andy Murray insists he is ready to cope with everything the New York weatheru00a0can throw at him as he waits to begin his US Open title bid at Flushing Meadows.

Temperatures in the early 90s have been forecast for the early part of the week, with the remnants of Hurricane Earl potentially bringing rain from Thursday onwards.

He lost in the quarter-finals to American Mardy Fish.

"I spend a lot of time training in Miami to get used to the conditions, so I don't mind what heat it is."

As for the wind, Murray added: "It's tough. On Ashe during the day sessions is normally pretty difficult but it's the same for everyone and I've played there enough times."

Murray also has fond memories of Flushing Meadows in general, having won the junior US Open title in
2004 while also advancing to the semi-finals of the doubles with brother Jamie.

"I haven't thought about that too much but it was nice. In terms of my junior career it was by far the best achievement I had and it was the most fun as well winning here," Murray added.
