Murray progresses in Toronto
2:42pm Thursday 24th July 2008
British number one Andy Murray advanced to the third round of the Rogers Cup with a 6-4 6-4 victory over Sweden's Thomas Johansson in the ATP Masters event in Toronto on Wednesday night.
The world number nine and eighth seed, who was making his first singles appearance since losing in the quarter-finals of Wimbledon to eventual champion Rafael Nadal, won the first set with a decisive break in the 10th game.
The 21-year-old struggled with his serve throughout, dropping his opening two service games in the second set, before demonstrating his now familiar resilience to triumph over the 1999 champion in one hour 38 minutes.
The Scot is now scheduled to meet Switzerland's Stanislas Wawrinka on Thursday.
Wawrinka, the world number 10, has won three out of five career meetings with Murray and was a 6-3 6-4 second-round winner over Russia's former world number one Marat Safin.
