Two-time finalist Andy Murray won the first five games on his way to a routine 6-1, 6-4, 6-4 win over Edouard Roger-Vasselin of France at the Australian Open on Thursday.
Fourth-seeded Murray has lost one of his last 25 matches against French opponents. He will face another Frenchman, Michael Llodra, in the third round.
Roger-Vasselin was outclassed in the first set and though he put up stronger resistance in the next two, he missed the only break point opportunity he had.
