Murray demolition job in Davis Cup

Andy Murray took less than an hour to haul Great Britain level in their Davis Cup clash with Luxembourg by sweeping aside Laurent Bram without the loss of a game.

The world number four needed only 51 minutes to tie the Europe/Africa Zone Group II encounter at 1-1 with a 6-0 6-0 6-0 victory following James Ward's opening defeat.
Bram, a 27-year-old coach at a tennis club in Luxembourg, was out of his depth as Murray treated his home crowd in Glasgow to a one-sided demolition.
The world number four dropped just 15 points at Braehead Arena and only one service point in the first two sets.
British number two Ward earlier lost in straight sets to Gilles Muller.
Ward started badly before ultimately falling short despite a battling display as the visitors' number one secured a 6-3 7-6 (7/4) 6-1 win.
Ward admitted he had found it difficult to recover after missing chances to take the second set.
"I didn't play the best game when I served at 5-3 in the second," the 24-year-old said.
"You stick in there and give yourself a chance but I didn't take the chances I had.
"I'm not sure I was deflated, you can't get deflated when everyone is cheering you on, but it's tough to take when you have that many chances in the second set and don't take them. But he serves well."
Murray will next join with brother Jamie in the doubles on Saturday before aiming to secure a promotion play-off against Belarus or Hungary when he takes on Muller on Sunday.
Unfortunately for Bram, he will again face the British number one alongside 18-year-old Mike Vermeer.
A clean sweep looked on the cards from the first game, which Murray won to love with the help of two aces, the second of which owed more to his opponents' fresh-air swipe than the power of the serve.
Bram, who gave up playing regularly on the Futures circuit four years ago, began his opening service game with two double faults before averting more embarrassment by winning the next two points.
Murray soon broke, and repeated the feat thanks to another double fault, before losing the first point on his serve in the fifth game when he put a drop shot into the net from close range.
Another Bram double fault handed Murray the set in 16 minutes with the loss of five points and the next set followed the same pattern.
Murray took just 15 minutes this time, punishing his opponent with an array of drop shots and enjoying a perfect service set.
Incredibly, the Scot started the third set with two double faults, but it was the fifth game when he lost his next point.
The Wimbledon semi-finalist soon set up three points for the rubber and tried to finish with a flourish but over-hit an ambitious and thunderous return.
Bram delayed the inevitable with a drop shot of his own but Murray immediately emulated the shot to wrap up victory in the mismatch.
The Scot said: '"That's the first time I've done it. I had 6-0 6-0 5-0 in the first round of the Australian Open four or five years ago.
"It's a very difficult thing to do so I just wanted to use it to concentrate, it was the thing I focused on, not letting up, trying to lose as few points as possible and try to win the match as quickly as I could.''
Murray whose last 6-0 6-0 success came against Sergio Barberan Miguel in 2004, was unconcerned the triumph came in something of a mismatch against Bram, who gave up playing on the circuit four years ago.
"I have played guys before and won sets 6-0,'' the world number four said.
"The guy I was beating at the Australian Open, Alberto Martin, was a top-50 player.
"Today was different because it's a different level of opponent but it's a good exercise.
"When I practise with guys ranked lower than me, I always try to win all the practice sets and concentrate because that's one of the most important things in tennis.
"I have never done it before so I was really happy that I managed to keep my concentration. When you have the chance, you want to try.
"You look like a prat if you get annoyed when you lose one game, but when you get the chance, I'm glad I did it.''
Murray showed no sympathy for his opponent, who is due to face him in the doubles.
"When I'm losing not many people feel sorry for me so I just go out there and try to win,'' he said.
"I don't know if he'll play, I'll be surprised if he did. They can change the team.''
Murray, who was watched by ''pretty much my whole family'', will line up alongside brother Jamie in the doubles for the first time in the Davis Cup.
"We have been in the same team in the past but Jamie wanted to play with Tim (Henman) one time and we didn't end up playing,'' he said.
