Ruthless Murray Wanted Early Finish

Andy Murray had ruthlessness on his mind as he swept aside Blaz Rola to reach the third round at Wimbledon. The defending champion was in sublime form on Court One, needing just an hour and 24 minutes to see off Slovenian Rola 6-1 6-1 6-0. Murray had never previously dropped fewer than six games in a match at the All England Club, while it was his most one-sided result at a slam since losing just one game to Alberto Martin at the Australian Open in 2007. Murray has yet to lose his serve this tournament after a comfortable win over David Goffin in round one, saving all five break points he has faced. The third seed appears to have learned the lessons from the French Open, when he was kept on the court longer than he should have been in a succession of matches after failing to kill off opponents when he had the chance. Murray had no time to sympathise with the brutal way Rola's Wimbledon debut ended, saying: "You just try to win the match. "You put a lot of hours of practice and hard work, training, all the stuff you do in the gym, for these tournaments. It hurts a lot of the time. "When you are in a position to win a match like that, you have to try and do it as quickly as possible, because all of the players in this tournament are very, very good tennis players. "If you give them a look-in in a set or they see a way back in, they can start playing very well. You just try to keep it going." Murray next meets 27th seed Roberto Bautista Agut, who is through to the third round at the All England Club for the first time. The Scot only dropped three sets on his way to the title last year, but might easily have lost in the quarter-finals when he trailed by two sets to love against Fernando Verdasco. "You're going to get tested during the tournament," said Murray. "Sometimes that happens in the first round, and sometimes it can happen in the semi-finals. It can happen at any moment in the tournament. You just have to be ready for it and expect it before every single match. "I go into each match expecting to lose serve, expecting to go behind, so your mind is ready and you don't get too down on yourself if that happens. "I'm happy to come through matches as quickly as possible, but you're going to get tested at some stage. Obviously the further you go in the draw, the tougher the matches are going to get."
