Andy Murray appears to have figured out the grass at Wimbledon.
Murray won his 15th straight match on the grass courts at the All England Club, dispatching Blaz Rola of Slovenia to reach the third round on Wednesday.
Murray broke eight times and dropped just two games to the 92nd-ranked Rola, cruising to a 6-1, 6-1, 6-0 victory.
The 23-year-old Rola was playing in his first Wimbledon.

In the afternoon, Novak Djokovic faced a little trouble dispatching the hard-working Radek Stepanek in four sets.
The top-ranked player in the tournament nearly had the match wrapped up in straight sets, but lost a 5-2 lead in the third set tiebreaker by dropping five consecutive points to Stepanek, who continued playing hard, pushing Djokovic to a tiebreak again in the fourth set.
Djokovic had enough left in the tank to finish the job, eventually walking away with a 6-4, 6-3, 6-7 (7-5), 7-6 (7-5) win to advance to the third round.
