Troicki brushed aside

Andy is through to the fourth round at The Championships after breezing past Viktor Troicki, 6-2, 6-3, 6-4 in less than two hours.

He'll now play Stan Wawrinka in their last 16 match on Monday.

In many ways, this was similar to the Gulbis win: he served too well, returned too well, and the net result was that Troicki was given the runaround.

Andy faced just the one break point all match, and that was saved with one of 18 aces.

The gap in class was there to see throughout, but on a couple of points - notably an exchange at the net that saw Troicki on his backside - it was a gulf.

Speaking to the BBC right after the match, Andy assessed his performance so far:

"I have to give myself an A for coming through the first week," he said.

"But I'm going to have to play better next week if I want to come away with title."
