World number two Andy Murray is confident to utilize every opportunity to win the last Grand Slam of 2009 as he prepares to faceAndy Murray in their US Open third-round match on Sunday.
The Scotsman Andy Murray -- who is trying to become the first British man to win a Grand Slam title since Fred Perry in 1936 -- will play for a spot in the last 16 against the 196th-ranked US wild card .
"You want to make sure you don't have any regrets as it's a good three or four months before the next Grand Slam," said Andy Murray -- who was last year's beaten finalist.
Andy Murray enjoys playing at Flushing Meadows but the 22-year-old is well aware that the 25,000 capacity crowd will be firmly behind Dent -- who is playing in his first US Open since 2005.
A serious back injury forced the 28-year-old out of the world rankings, but he underwent complex spinal and has slowly begun to claw his way back up the world rankings.
Dent used his booming serve to outlast Spain's Ivan Navarro 6-4, 5-7, 6-7 (1/7), 7-5, 7-6 (11/9) and delighted the crowd with a wild celebration that culminated in him grabbing the umpire's microphone to thank his fans.
"Andy Murray y is tough. It's going to be rough. There's no way around it," said Dent.
"My execution is not where I want it to be but I'm going to go out there and fight as hard as I possibly can. Even if it's 6-0, 6-0, 6-0, I'm going to give him everything I've got," he added.
