Andy Murray made light work of Thomas Johansson to advance to the third round of the Toronto Masters. A six-hour rain delay halted Murray's progress but when he eventually got on court he beat the Swede 6-4, 6-4.

The world number nine and eighth seed, who was making his first singles appearance since losing in the quarter-final of Wimbledon to eventual champion Rafael Nadal, won the first set with a decisive break in the 10th game.

The 21-year-old from Dunblane struggled with his serve throughout, dropping his opening two service games in the second set, before demonstrating his now familiar resilience to triumph over the 1999 champion of this event in one hour 38 minutes.

"I was happy with the way I came back," Murray said. "Thomas is tough on hard courts, so I knew I'd have to up my game especially in the second set when I went behind."

The Scot is now scheduled to meet Switzerland's Stanislas Wawrinka later today. Wawrinka, the world number 10, has won three out of five career meetings with Murray and was a 6-3 6-4 second-round winner over Russia's former world number one Marat Safin.

Murray also advanced to the second round of the doubles on Tuesday when he and his brother, Jamie, defeated Richard Gasquet and Nicolas Mahut in straight sets, 7-6 (7-4) 6-2.
