Andy Murray powers past Pouille in Shanghai
British No 1 Andy Murray continued his impressive form with a 6-1, 6-3 win over Lucas Pouille of France to secure a place in the quarter-finals of the Shanghai Masters.
The world No 2, who won the China Open last week, had coasted past American Steve Johnson on Wednesday, and 13th seed Pouille was also given little opportunity.
Pouille was broken in his first two services game as Murray, producing a range of attacking winners from across the baseline, raced into a 5-0 lead before closing out the first set in 40 minutes.
