The Czech soon found himself 0-30 in front on the Murray serve, but the world No 2 battled back to hold before the first set headed into a tie-break, which Murray took 7-3 - although it was far from straightforward.A dominant hold of serve followed for the Czech to start the second set before Murray cruised into 40-0 on his own serve.
