Tomas Berdych too strong for Dmitry Tursunov

Tomas Berdych has overcome Dmitry Tursunov in straight sets to clinch a place in the third round at the Italian Open.

The sixth seed appeared to be in trouble early on when he trailed 4-2, but won four games in a row to take a one-set lead over the Russian.

Tursunov made another strong start in the second set, breaking in Berdych's first service game for a 2-0 lead as he looked to level the match.

However, he was pulled back again, before Berdych broke in the ninth game to wrap up the match after less than 90 minutes on court.

Berdych will face Grigor Dimitrov in the next round.
