The Roland Garros WTA Tour also known as the French Open is currently taking place in Paris, and today Scotland’s Andy Murray advances into round three after a straight sets win over Simone Bolelli of Italy. He will now face either Michael Berrer of Germany or Arnaud Clement of France.

Piers Newbery of BBC Sport is reporting that Murray won the match 7-6 (7-3) 6-4 7-5 on a windy day in Paris. Murray began the match 2.0 up against Bolelli who is now way down at number 126 in the world rankings.

The match began in a low-key fashion with most of the crowd had disappeared after the match before. Both men made early errors with Murray’s inconsistent serving the main difference. Murray was behind twice in the first set with double faults causing the most damage.

In the final set the Italian had the chance to win the match, but three errors gave Murray the opportunity to convert his 13th break point and finally serve out the match.
