PARIS — Andy Murray put down an early warning for the Davis Cup final when he dismantled David Goffin 6-1 6-0 in awe-inspiring fashion to reach the quarter-finals of the Paris Masters on Thursday.
Three weeks before Britain and Belgium face off in the Davis Cup final on clay in Ghent, Murray had just too much pace for the 16th seeded Goffin on the Bercy hard court.
Goffin can only hope the red dust will slow down world number three Murray in the Nov.27-29 tie.
The second-seeded Murray had Goffin chasing from corner to corner throughout a one-sided contest.
