Murray eases into Wimbledon third round

Andy Murray pulled off the most emphatic Wimbledon win of his career to race into the third round.

The defending champion was in sublime form on Court One, needing just an hour and 24 minutes to see off Slovenian Blaz Rola 6-1 6-1 6-0.

Murray had never previously dropped fewer than six games in a match at the All England Club, while it was his most one-sided result at a slam since losing one game to Alberto Martin at the Australian Open in 2007.

Murray had begun his title defence in fine style with a comfortable win over David Goffin and Rola was another unknown quantity.

The world number 92 was playing in only his third grand slam tournament.

Rola's nerves were obvious as he allowed Murray to break serve in the opening game, throwing in a double fault and a number of mis-hits.

The 23-year-old Slovenian only began to play on the tour full-time this season after going to university in the United States and has risen up the rankings quickly.

A big forehand is his main weapon and he had Murray in a spot of trouble at break point down in the fourth game, but the Scot saved it with an ace.

Murray then showed his full repertoire of skills to break again for 4-1 and took his third set point in Rola's next service game.

After saving a second break point with an ace in the opening game of the second set, Murray made it six games in a row with yet another break of the Rola serve.

It was turning out to be a rather chastening experience for Rola, who simply could not hold his serve.

The world number 92 finally stopped the run of games against him at nine but Murray promptly served out the set 6-1 with a lovely dinked backhand.

Rola's hopes of mounting the most unlikely of comebacks were dealt another blow at the start of the third set.

Having missed two break points, Murray played a stunning rally to move 1-0 ahead, ending it with a crisp forehand winner down the line.

The 27-year-old was in complete control, showing off all facets of his game and giving Rola a thorough runaround.

The Slovenian continued to have the odd glimpse on the Murray serve and created a third break point of the match at 3-0, but it went the same way as the others.

Rola then served successive double faults to leave Murray serving for the match, and he clinched it with a love game, ending on a delightful drop shot.
