Solid start helps Murray ease to victory

Andy Murray was grateful for an evening free of drama as he cruised past Feliciano Lopez to reach the fourth round of the US Open under the lights on Arthur Ashe Stadium.

The world number four had needed to come from two sets down to defeat big-hitting Dutchman Robin Haase in round two but he could not have made a better start on Sunday night, winning the first 14 points and not dropping a point on his serve in a one-sided first set.
