Wimbledon 2013 Results: Andy Murray Wins, Remaining Perfect Through Three Rounds

Jun 28, 2013 03:24 PM EDT

The British star continues to shine at Wimbledon. Andy Murray defeated Tommy Robredo in the third round of the tournament by the score of 6-2, 6-4, 7-5. With the victory, Murray is moves into the fourth round at Wimbledon. 

Murray continues to demolish the competition and this time it was Robredo, the No. 32 seeded in Men's Singles, who suffered a sweep. Murray has won all nine sets played in the tournament, winning seven in 10 games or less. He is on cruise control and is now eyeing his fourth round matchup. 

Murray's next opponent is Frenchman Jeremy Chardy (28). One never wants to get cocky in fear of jinxing Murray's run, but he should head into the fourth round confident as Chardy has proven to be a small fish in Murray's pond. At 5-1 in their six career matches, Murray has been the dominant player. The two started their history in 2009 in Montreal at the Rogers Cup. Murray went on to win their first four meetings before dropping the fifth match in 2012 at the Western & Southern Open in Cincinnati. However, Murray bounced right back a few months later, defeating Chardy in the quarterfinals at the 2013 Australian Open.

Chardy will have to take advantage of Murray's mistakes as the British player continues to commit unforced errors. Murray won that battle against Robredo, but the competition will only stiffen the deeper he gets into the tournament. Murray committed 14 unforced errors on Friday, but they didn't prove costly as the Men's Single's No. 2 seed is seeking his first Wimbledon title.
