Andy Murray beats Lu Yen-hsun in straight sets at Queen's

British number one Andy Murray is through to the second round at Queen's with a straight-sets win over Lu Yen-hsun of Chinese Taipei.

Andy Murray has progressed to the second round of the Aegon Championship at Queen's with a comfortable 6-4 7-5 win over Lu Yen-hsun.

The three-time champion found himself falling behind early on as Lu picked up a break of serve in just the third game of the opening set, but the British number one hit back straight away.

Murray soon had a chance to go a break up himself, and converted it to leave him serving for the set in the next game.

Having claimed the opening, Murray found himself having to chase again in the second set as the Chinese Taipei player was able to break him again.

The Scot kept his composure though, and levelled the set before forcing a mistake from Lu while he was serving to take the set to a tie-break, sealing the match with a lob to the back of the court.

Murray will face Spain's Fernando Verdasco in the second round.
