Champion Murray hands Rola a grand slam lesson

LONDON: Andy Murray gave Slovenian Blaz Rola a painful lesson in what it takes to be a grand slam winner, when he blasted the former college champion out of Wimbledon´s second round 6-1 6-1 6-0.

While the British No.1 was winning Wimbledon last year, Rola was winding up a successful college tennis career for Ohio State University.

The contrast in quality was stark on Wednesday.Some of the biggest cheers on an otherwise partisan Court One were reserved for Rola´s two winning games, the crowd willing him to avoid further embarrassment.

But Murray, blasting winners from both sides of the court, put the 23-year-old firmly in his place to set up a third round clash with Czech Jan Hernych or Roberto Bautista Agut of Spain.
