Djokovic and Murray survive tests in Cincinnati

World number one Novak Djokovic and Britain’s Andy Murray were both handed tough examinations en route to the third round of the Cincinnati Masters.

Wimbledon champion Djokovic, aiming for a historic career grand slam of all nine ATP 1000 Masters titles, had to contend not only with being broken but also some trick shots from France’s Benoit Paire, who ultimately succumbed to a 7-5 6-2 defeat.
