Wimbledon 2014: Andy Murray Thrashes Blaž Rola

Murray Thrashes Rola In Second Round
|

Andy Murray dropped just two games in a straight-sets thrashing of Slovenian Blaž Rola in the second round at Wimbledon.

Murray eased to a 6-1 6-1 6-0 as he continues the defence of his Wimbledon crown.

This was the most emphatic Wimbledon win of Murray's career on Court One, as he took just an hour and 24 minutes.

Murray had never previously dropped fewer than six games in a match at the All England Club, while it was his most one-sided result at a slam since losing one game to Alberto Martin at the Australian Open in 2007.
