LONDON, (Reuters) – Andy Murray made light work of a  tricky tea-time assignment at Wimbledon yesterday while  Lleyton Hewitt, the man who has already lifted the trophy the  Scot so cherishes, rolled back the years to cause a big upset.

In front of 15,000 Centre Court fans and thousands watching  the match on Henman Hill’s giant screen, Murray devoured Latvian  Ernests Gulbis 6-2 7-5 6-3 to clear another hurdle towards  becoming Britain’s first men’s singles champion in 73 years. Murray was joined in the third round by dogged Australian  Hewitt, the 2002 champion, who produced a vintage display to  dispatch fifth seed Juan Martin del Potro in straight sets.
