MONTREAL: Andy Murray took care of some unfinished business as the second seed advanced to the third round of the ATP Tour’s Montreal Masters on Wednesday with a 6-4, 7-5 win over Tommy Robredo.
The Scot ended the match, which was postponed because of heavy rain Tuesday, by executing a drop shot which bounced on the top of the net before falling onto Robredo’s side of the court for the winner.
But there was disappointment for French Open winner Stan Wawrinka who was unable to carry on due to apparent back problems, with the Swiss quitting to hand a 6-7 (8/10), 6-4, 4-0 victory to Australian Nick Kyrgios.
Wawrinka, who did not play after Wimbledon due to a shoulder injury, called for the trainer as he trailed two breaks in the third set.
After speaking with the trainer and his coach Magnus Norman, the 30-year-old third seed decided to give up the match.
Murray set up a meeting with Gilles Muller — whom he has defeated twice this season — as he finished his second round contest with 24 winners and 30 unforced errors and breaking four times.
