Murray races past Coric in Paris

British number one Andy Murray thrashed Croatian teenager Borna Coric in just 58 minutes to reach the third round at the Paris Masters.

Murray, seeded second, won 6-1 6-2 and will next play Belgian David Goffin - a warm-up for this month's likely meeting in the Davis Cup final.

British number two Aljaz Bedene earlier lost 6-3 7-6 (7-3) to American 13th seed John Isner.

Rafael Nadal beat Lukas Rosol 6-2 6-2, with Roger Federer also progressing.

The Swiss world number two cruised past Italian Andreas Seppi 6-1 6-1.

Murray was playing for the first time since losing to Novak Djokovic in Shanghai 19 days ago, and wasted little time in seeing off Coric.
