Andy Murray beats Brandon Nakashima in straight sets at Citi Open

Andy Murray won his first singles match since Wimbledon when he defeated American Brandon Nakashima in straight sets at the Citi Open in Washington.

The 36-year-old lost in Wimbledon's second round to Stefanos Tsitsipas last month but returned to winning ways with a 7-6 6-4 victory against Nakashima.

The British player will now face the winner of Taylor Fritz's match against Zachary Svajda in the last 16.

"I thought I did well, I hit the ball well from the beginning," he said.

"I was struggling a little bit on the return. Brandon serves well, especially his second serve.
