- Murray shows his class in 6-4, 6-0, 6-1 win on Centre Court
- ‘I’m fit and ready for a good run’ two-time champion insists
As one old master watched on, another moved on. Roger Federer was back at Wimbledon in the Royal Box as Andy Murray eased his way into the second round with a 6-4, 6-0, 6-1 victory over Englishman Ryan Peniston on Centre Court.
It was regulation stuff, with Murray taking a while to crank through the gears before racing away in the second and third sets. But afterwards, as the microphone was pressed towards the Scot’s face, he issued a bullish bulletin on his prospects for the fortnight. “It’s been a long time since I have felt physically good coming into Wimbledon,” he said, to loud cheers. “I’m fit and ready for a good run.”
