Andy Murray Win At Olympic

 

Andy Murray started the defence of his Olympic singles title with a comfortable straight sets win over Viktor Troicki in the first round at the Rio Games. The British No 1, who won Olympic gold at London 2012, was broken in his opening game, but quickly gained command to seal a 6-3 6-2 victory over his Serbian opponent.

Murray had won all seven of his previous matches against Troicki and immediately hit back with a break of his own after dropping his first service game.  The Scot's powerful ground strokes were giving him the edge in rallies and Murray moved 4-2 up after wrestling another break from Troicki.

With the opening set in his grasp, Murray comfortably moved into a 1-0 lead after bringing up set point with a winner that kissed the top of the net chord. On the other side of the net, Troicki was losing his love for the game, and was broken again after failing to retrieve a clever sliced return from Murray.

The Wimbledon champion would heap further anguish on the Serb with a further break before serving out for a place in the second round.
