Olympic Tennis: Andy Murray beats Wawrinka

Britain's Andy Murray delighted the home crowd with a confident victory over Stanislas Wawrinka in round one of the Olympic singles at Wimbledon Centre Court, Sunday today.

Murray suffered a shock first-round loss in Beijing four years ago, but made no mistake against Swiss flag-bearer Wawrinka under the Centre Court roof.

The third seed beat his 29th-ranked opponent 6-4 6-3 to set up a second-round meeting with Finland's Jarkko Nieminen or India's Somdev Devvarman.

Heather Watson and Laura Robson are also scheduled to play singles on a rain-affected Day Two. Watson, the British number one, faces Spanish clay-court specialist Silvia Soler Espinosa and Robson goes up against Lucie Safarova of the Czech Republic.
