PARIS — Andy Murray demolished Croatian teenager Borna Coric 6-1 6-2 in the second round of the Paris Masters on Wednesday to set up a Davis Cup-flavored clash with Belgium's David Goffin.
Britain and Belgium meet in the Davis Cup final in Ghent from Nov. 27-29 with world number three Murray and Goffin, who eased past Serbian qualifier Dusan Lajovic, expected to clash in a singles rubber.
Although the Davis Cup tie will be played on clay, Murray believes he can pick up some tips from Thursday's match against Goffin.
"Any time you spend time on court with opponents you can learn about their game," the Scot told a news conference.
