Murray beats Robredo in straight sets

Andy Murray has secured his place in the fourth round at Wimbledon with a straight-sets win over Tommy Robredo.

The US Open champion claimed two early breaks against the Spaniard, but the 31-year-old got a break back, forcing Murray to attack again, claiming the first set 6-2.

The Briton went a break up at the start of the second, but Robredo managed to find his rhythm on serve to keep the set alive, before bringing up a break point while Murray was serving for the set.

However, the second seed was able to save it with a forehand before clinching a two-set lead following a long rally.

Robredo was able to stick with Murray for much of the third set, but the world number two was able to get a break to take a 6-5 lead, before comfortably serving out the match.

Murray will play either Mikhail Youzhny or Viktor Troicki in the last 16.
