Andy Murray (GBR) def. Stanislas Wawrinka (SUI) - 6-3, 6-3
What could have been a difficult first-round match ended up as a straight sets win for Andy Murray. Murray hit 20 winners, 12 unforced errors, and converted 88 percent of first serve points on his way to the win over Stan Wawrinka.
Murray returned to the court where he lost the Wimbledon final to Roger Federer three weeks ago. But after the match he was quick to emphasize that this wasn't Wimbledon, "it's so different, there's so many other sports going on, so many other athletes...you don't feel like you're the only one that's playing...in a bubble."
Murray said that the Olympics served as "big motivation to get over the Wimbledon final quickly...I worked really hard on the practice court and that's been the difference."
Wawrinka will remain in London to defend his doubles gold medal alongside Swiss number one Roger Federer.
