London: Defending champion Andy Murray stormed into the Wimbledon third round with a ruthless 6-3, 6-2, 6-2 demolition of Dustin Brown on Wednesday. Murray needed only 96 minutes to see off the dreadlocked German on Centre Court as he underlined his return to fitness following a nagging hip injury. Next up for World No 1 Murray is a clash with colourful Italian 28th seed Fabio Fognini. [caption id=“attachment_3780479” align=“alignleft” width=“380”]

I started to see the shots he was going to play a little but quicker and that allowed me to get to some of the drop volleys and come up with some passing shots. “The last three games I didn’t serve particularly well. But the rest of the match I served well, I was getting a lot of free points there. “He wasn’t able to attack my second serve like he tries to do so that was positive. “Against guys that play a lot of drop shots and come forward you need to move well, and I did that.” Murray said his hip had not affected him at all during his two matches so far. “I feel good and hopefully it stays that way,” he said.
