LONDON (Reuters) - Andy Murray kept his feet while all around him were losing theirs to negotiate his way past a tricky second round opponent as Wimbledon descended into a chaotic flurry of skids, shocks and drop outs on Wednesday.
With champion Roger Federer dethroned, opening up the draw for Britain's home hope, and seven players withdrawing or retiring injured, Murray's 6-3 6-3 7-5 win over Taiwan's Lu Yen-Hsun was notable for its largely predictable outcome.
