Andy Murray eases through to Wimbledon third round

Andy Murray is through to the third round at Wimbledon with a straight-sets win over Lu Yen-Hsun.

Andy Murray has recorded a straight-sets win over Lu Yen-Hsun to reach the third round at Wimbledon.

Lu was considered a dangerous opponent after winning Challengers titles on the grass prior to Wimbledon but he was no match for the second seed, who eased to a 6-3 6-2 6-1 win.

Three of Lu's six games came during the opening 20 minutes as he struck in Murray's first service game, but that was as good as it got for the 32-year-old who could not keep pace with the 2013 champion.

Murray broke serve a total of seven times as Lu won just 44% of points behind his own delivery. The result marks Murray's fourth successive win against the Taiwanese player, who beat him at the 2008 Olympics.

Australia's John Millman will be Murray's opponent in the last 32 after he upset 26th seed Benoit Paire.
