Murray and Nadal Reach 3rd Round at Paris Masters
PARIS — Andy Murray and Rafael Nadal both advanced to the third round of the Paris Masters on Wednesday, each winning in straight sets.
The second-seeded Murray beat 18-year-old Croat Borna Coric 6-1, 6-2, while the seventh-seeded Nadal defeated Czech qualifier Lukas Rosol 6-2, 6-2.
Murray won 84 percent of his first-serve points and broke Coric twice in each set. Coric, regarded as one of the rising stars of tennis, beat Murray 6-1, 6-3 in the quarterfinals of the Dubai Championships in February.
"I lost to him quickly last time and today it was very different," Murray said. "I hit the ball well and I was able to defend, too, which is a pretty important part of my game."
