Andy Murray eases past wounded Nick Kyrgios to reach French Open last 16

Andy Murray moved into the fourth round of the 2015 French Open in a strangely disjointed win over a wounded Nick Kyrgios on Court Suzanne Lenglen on Saturday.

It was a routine win in the end – 6-4, 6-2, 6-3 in two hours, Murray finishing the task with a rasping backhand crosscourt.

“It was a tough match because he was going for huge shots, and making me play quite far behind the baseline,” Murray said. “I tried to break up his rhythm. He was struggling with his elbow, which slowed down his serve, one of his big weapons.
