LONDON (Reuters) - Andy Murray despatched Taiwan's Lu Yen-Hsun 6-3 6-3 7-5 with maximum efficiency on Wednesday to reach the third round at Wimbledon and avoided the injury pitfalls that sent several players tumbling.

Britain's second seed came into the match having suffered a chastening defeat by the 75th ranked Lu at the Beijing Olympics in 2008 and for the first handful of games it looked like he might be in for a testing afternoon.
