(Reuters) - Andy Murray tipped 16-year-old Croatian Borna Coric for a bright future after beating him 6-3 6-0 6-3 to give Britain a winning start in their Davis Cup World Group playoff tie on Friday.

Coric, who emulated world No. 3 Murray recently by winning the U.S. Open junior title, made the Wimbledon champion sweat in the first and third sets, showing some classy touches to keep his vastly more experienced opponent on his toes.
