Andy has cruised comfortably through to the third round of the Australian Open after a straight sets win over Edouard Roger-Vasselin, 6-1 , 6-4, 6-4.

He will now face another Frenchman in Michael Llodra as he bids to make the fourth round stages in Brisbane.

Andy made relatively light work of Roger-Vasselin on Hisense Arena, taking the first set in 23 minutes. And whilst the Frenchman kept the scoreline a little more respectable thereafter, the win never looked in doubt.

“I served well,” said Andy. “I didn’t give him too many opportunities on my serve, which was important as he played well in the second and third set.

“I’ve played French guys a lot,” he added. “Llodra in the next round is tough, he’s a leftie and has a lot of flair so it’ll be a good match.”
