Canadian Open: Andy Murray beats Lorenzo Sonego as Cameron Norrie loses

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 1000 event.

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

British number one Cameron Norrie failed to progress, however, after he was beaten 7-5 6-4 by Australia's Alex de Minaur in the first round.

The 27-year-old, who is ranked 13th in the world, had a first-set point on serve against De Minaur but he struggled with the windy conditions as his poor run of form continued.
