SHANGHAI, Oct. 14 (Xinhua) -- Andy Murray was hardly tested before beating American Steve Johnson 6-2, 6-4 in the second round of the Shanghai Rolex Masters on Wednesday.
In his first meeting with the world number 47 Johnson, Murray converted four of his five break points and won the match in just 74 minutes.
"I felt good," said Murray, who's competing for the first time since leading Britain into the Davis Cup final with victory over Australia in Glasgow three weeks ago.
"I thought I moved well from the beginning, struck the ball cleanly. From my side, I was happy with the way that I played and also the way my body felt. I thought I moved around the court very well. That's obviously an important part of my game. That was key."
The 28-year-old Murray is a two-time former champion at Shanghai, lifting the trophy in 2010 and 2011.
He will in the third round take on another American and No. 13 seed John Isner, who won 6-3, 7-6 (5) over Belgian David Goffin.
Looking ahead to the Isner clash, the world number two said: "We're playing 1:30 tomorrow. The court plays a little bit quicker during the day. When the sun goes down and you play in the evening, it can slow the conditions down. Playing earlier makes it a little bit quicker. So breaking serve will be tougher."
"But, I played well against him in the past. I've won some close ones against him. But he's played very well this year. He's been a lot more consistent outside of the States this year. It will be a tough match."
