LONDON (Reuters) - Andy Murray recorded a solid and largely straightforward 6-3 7-5 6-2 victory over Australian John Millman on Saturday to reach the second week of Wimbledon where he will find himself in the unusual position of being the highest seed left in the draw.

One of the partisan crowd's biggest cheers during his third-round win over the 67th-ranked Millman greeted the news that world number one Novak Djokavic had been beaten by Sam Querrey on Court One.
