Andy Murray batters Mardy Fish to make round three at Cincinnati Masters
Scot progresses after 6-4, 7-6 (7-1) win over American
Third seed Andy Murray is in the third round of the Cincinnati Masters after a convincing 6-4, 7-6 (7-1) win over the American.
Murray, who beat Djokovic to win in Montreal on Sunday, beat Mardy Fish in a match featuring a flurry of service breaks. There were four late in the second set, with Murray breaking Fish to tie it 6-6.
They traded points in the tiebreaker before Murray ran off six in a row to close it out.
"He made it very tricky for me," said Murray, who will face Bulgaria’s Grigor Dimitrov on Thursday. "The conditions were tough. It was very humid."
A relaxed Murray took time away from practice on Wednesday to serve ice cream to unsuspecting spectators. The world number two donned a disguise and served tennis fans with ice cream, in the process shaking off an occassionally warranted reputation for being dour.
