Andy Murray last night reached the third round of the Rogers Cup in Canada after a 6-4 7-5 win over Spaniard Tommy Robredo.

World No.3 Murray had to play on to a second day after the contest was rained off at 4-4 on Tuesday.

The 28-year-old went a break down in the second set but recovered and faces Gilles Muller of Luxembourg next.

"It was tricky conditions, very windy, completely different to yesterday. When the shadow came across it became hard to pick up the ball," said Murray.

"I lost my timing in the middle of the second set but came up with some good shots towards the end.

"I feel much better on the court. I am hitting my back hand better and it forced Tommy to slice the ball.

"Then I could dictate the points. It wasn't something I could do early on in the year."

Meanwhile, Davis Cup captain Leon Smith is backing Glasgow tennis fans to roar team GB to a semi-final victory over Australia.

The Emirates Arena was yesterday named as host for the 18-20 September contest.

"We've great memories from the Glasgow tie against the USA in March," said Smith, who was born in the city.

"The atmosphere was absolutely terrific and we're looking for more of the same in what is a very, very important tie."

Andy Murray won both of his singles matches in the win against the USA and did so again in the quarter-final success against France at Queen's.

"When I speak to the players, Andy included, we talk of having such amazing memories of the Emirates Arena," Smith said.

And as Great Britain look to reach the final for the Davis Cup for the first time since 1978, the captain says the camaraderie within the team has played a big part in their success.

"Obviously all the players are across the world playing for themselves," he said. "But the Davis Cup is that unique tie when you get together as a team, put on the Great Britain shirt and build that incredible feeling.

"You can see from the last tie how Andy Murray felt playing in it. He broke down in tears at the end of the match against France.

"It really is a different feeling to have the whole crowd and the energy it generates and your team-mates praying for you in what is very much an individual sport.

"Much will lie on the shoulders of Andy yet again, but that is one of the huge advantages of having one of the world's best tennis players in your team.

"As much as the pressure is on him, he goes into nearly every match as favourite and we've got a tremendous opportunity this year to try to add a little more history in what is a very important time for us."
