THREE'N'EASY: Andy Murray cruised through in straight sets

The World No.76 from Chinese Taipei could have been a real pain in the grass for Murray.

Lu had come into the game on the back of an 11-match winning streak on the green stuff, winning two Challenger events in the build-up.

And he's got Murray-bashing previous, too, having dumped the Scot out the Beijing Olympics eight years ago.

Lu surged into an early lead after breaking Murray in the first game of the match.

He was sitting pretty at 3-1 but it served only to kickstart the 2013 champion into action.

Murray settled into his rhythm, unleashed some savage groundstrokes and barely gave Lu a sniff on serve.

He allowed Lu to win just three more games all match to take a 6-3 6-2 6-1 win.

Murray said: "First set was tough. There were a lot of close games, I managed to hang on at the end of the first and then settled down towards the end of the second.

"I was hitting the ball much better in third and feeling more comfortable.

"If you can win matches easily it does help because you can rest.

"It has been a good start. I will just try and do my best - work hard, keep my head down and hopefully have a good tournament."

The Scot will play Aussie John Millman in the next round.

It was the second big British success of the day after Dan Evans stormed into the third round.

Evans beat 30th seed Alexandr Dolgopolov in straight sets to set up a clash with six-time SW19 champ Roger Federer tomorrow.
