Andy Murray vs. Juan Monaco: Score and Reaction from 2016 Olympics

Great Britain's Andy Murray cruised into the third round at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro on Tuesday with a routine 6-3, 6-1 victory over Juan Monaco of Argentina.

Murray entered the match with a 3-2 record against the feisty Argentine, but he was never in serious danger during the encounter. The battle featured a lot of extended rallies, which wasn't a surprise given the strong defense of both players, but the 2012 London Olympic champion was a step above throughout.

The road to a second straight gold medal is wide open for Murray.
