Andy Murray has cruised into the third round of the Australian Open with a straight sets win over local hope Marinko Matosevic.
The sixth seed dropped just six games on his way to the victory, winning the match 6-1, 6-3, 6-2 to set up a clash against the winner of Joao Sousa and Martin Klizan on Friday.
Murray had never lost to the Australian in three past encounters and a fourth win never looked in doubt after he raced through the first set in just 21 minutes.
Murray immediately broke Matosevic in the second set, but the world number 81 managed to stay in touch with the former Wimbledon champion until midway through the second set, but the Brit’s class shone through to clinch to clinch the set 6-3.
It was more of the same in the third set, with Murray claiming an early break and he didn’t look back.
The always entertaining Matosevic never stopped battling and despite the local support support, he could not match it with Britain’s number one.
