Andy Murray has said that he played a "smart match" to beat Vasek Pospisil in the second round at the BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells.
The British number one eased to a 6-1 6-3 win over the Canadian, setting up a meeting with Philipp Kohlschreiber in the third round.
The 27-year-old told BBC Sport: "I've struggled a bit in the last few years here so I decided to try and play a very solid match and adjust to the conditions.
"It was very hot and that made the ball pretty lively. Controlling the ball isn't that easy. I thought I played quite a smart match."
Murray has never won the event, but was runner-up to Rafael Nadal in 2009.
