Murray beats Sonego at Canadian Open

Andy Murray is through to the second round of the Canadian Open in Toronto after a straight-set victory over Lorenzo Sonego in blustery Toronto.

Murray, 36, beat the Italian 7-6 (7-3) 6-0 in two hours and nine minutes at the ATP Masters 1,000 event.

The three-time Grand Slam winner had to save two set points at 5-4 on his own serve and dropped the first two points of the tie-break before he won a marathon 88-minute first set.

The second set was more formality as Murray backed up an early break with two more and grabbed a match point at the first opportunity.

The Scot previously won the tournament in 2009, 2010 and 2015.
