LONDON (Reuters) - Andy Murray showed the class that carried him all the way to Olympic glory as he beat Germany's Benjamin Becker 6-4 6-3 6-2 to reach the second round at Wimbledon on Monday.

Murray, who followed his runner-up finish to Roger Federer at Wimbledon last year by winning gold at the London Games on the same hallowed turf weeks later, extended his winning streak on grass to 12 as he dispatched Becker with minimum fuss.
