Andy Murray has begun his clay court season with a comfortable straight-sets win over Mischa Zverev at the Munich Open.
The British number one, playing under new coach Jonas Bjorkman for the first time, beat his German opponent 6-2 6-2 in 75 minutes.
Murray powered through the first four games of his opening match and Zverev, ranked 653rd in the world, was unable to recover.
The 27-year-old Scot saw off some resistance in the second set in the shape of six break points but his opponent, also 27, could not convert and Murray closed it out on serve.
Murray, who had a bye in the first round, will now face Czech Lukas Rosol in the third round as he looks to win his first ATP title on clay.
