Defending champion Andy Murray thrashed Slovenian Blaz Rola on Wimbledon's Court One to advance to the third round of the tournament.

Murray defeated Rola 6-1, 6-1, 6-0 in straight sets in one hour and 24 minutes to win the second round of Wimbledon.

According to the BBC, Murray, who has now won 15 matches in a row at the All England Club, said that he played well, adding that this is the first year Rola has played on grass.

The defending champion said that Rola has just come out of college and broken into the top 100, adding that it was tough for the Slovenian because he does not have a lot of grass-court experience.

 

Murray added that Rola would definitely keep improving.

Murray played on Court One at the same stage last year, and Rola, the world number 92, met the same fate as Yen-Hsun Lu 12 months ago, the report added.
