Rafael Nadal has revealed that he had offered to provide Andy Murray with his boat in Mallorca, where the Scot is playing in a second-tier Challenger event as part of his comeback following hip surgery.
The Spaniard swept into the second round of the US Open with a 6-3 6-2 6-2 rout of Australian world number 60 John Millman on the same day as Murray won his second singles match at a tournament that bears Nadal's name.
"I'm very happy to have Andy Murray playing there," Nadal said on Tuesday.
"It's great news for us, of course, but for him and for the world of sport that's great news and I wish him the very best.
"I just text him a couple days ago saying, 'If you need anything, just let me know. You want to go out with the boat or anything, I can help you, just let me know.'"
"If you don't feel it very well, you play normal tour and just let's see how it goes. If one player like Andy is able to go and play a challenger is because physically he feels well and he wants to play matches."
