Britain's Andy Murray overcame a nervy start to ease through to the second round at Wimbledon on Tuesday, his class finally telling in a 7-5 6-1 6-2 victory over unheralded Czech Jan Hajek.
The 23-year-old, as ever the only realistic hope of a home champion, fell 2-1 behind to an early break against the world number 90, but he levelled in game eight and sealed the opener in 45 minutes after Hajek ballooned a backhand long.
Hajek's game, which in the early stages featured some defiant forehands and a nice drop shot, imploded thereafter and Murray, the fourth seed, wrapped up the win when the Czech netted a service return on a sun-baked Court One.
He now plays Finn Jarkko Nieminen or Austria's Stefan Koubek in the second round.
