Andy Murray is through to the third round at Queen's after beating Nicolas Mahut in straight sets.

Andy Murray has sealed his place in the last 16 at Queen's after he defeated Nicolas Mahut in straight sets.

The US Open champion returned on Thursday after opening up a one-set lead over his French opponent, with the second set standing at 2-2.

Mahut created three break points during the opening service games but he could not make the breakthrough, and the set would be decided on a tie-break.

Murray secured the early mini-break, before Mahut fought back to make it 4-4.

However, the Scot came out on top in two entertaining rallies and sealed his win with a cross-court backhand.
