Andy Murray cruises into Olympics singles third round
31st July 2012
Andy Murray is into the third round of the singles event at the Olympic Games after a 6-2, 6-4 win over Jarkko Nieminen at Wimbledon on Tuesday.
The British No.1 was in imperious form as he swept aside his Finnish opponent in just 61 minutes on Centre Court to set up a round three match against Cypriot Marcos Baghdatis.
"I played well," said Murray afterwards. "I started the match off well. I lost concentration a bit at the end of the second set, I had a few chances to go up a couple of breaks and I missed a few shots but when you play in front of packed crowds it helps.
"When it's home support and it's with you it helps, it helps a lot. The atmosphere has been great since the first match of the tennis. Hopefully I can keep going because it's fun to play in an atmosphere like this."
