Olympic champion Andy Murray makes progress in Cincinnati

Olympic champion Andy Murray shrugged off shoulder trouble and the fatigue that followed his heroics in Rio to reach the third round of the Western & Southern Open.

On Sunday the Scot came through a gruelling four-set encounter with Juan Martin del Potro to win his second gold medal and barely three days later he was back on court, this time against another Argentinian, Juan Monaco, in Cincinnati.

Murray needed treatment on his shoulder during a tricky first set but soon recovered from the niggle to close out a 6-3 6-2 in one hour and 17 minutes.
