Murray sweeps past fellow Briton Broady - highlights & report

Andy Murray made short work of his first ever British opponent at Wimbledon as he swept past wildcard Liam Broady in the opening round.

Murray, seeded second, saw off the 22-year-old world number 235 from Stockport 6-2 6-3 6-4 on Centre Court.

It was the first all-British meeting at the All England Club since Tim Henman beat Martin Lee in 2001.

Murray, 29, goes on to face Yen-Hsun Lu of Chinese Taipei in the second round on Thursday.

The Scot needed just one hour and 43 minutes to end Broady's Centre Court debut, the 2013 champion and world number two not surprisingly outclassing a player with just one tour-level win to his name.
