Monaco: Second-seeded Andy Murray was thrashed 6-1, 6-2 by Stanislas Wawrinka in the third round of the Monte Carlo Masters on Thursday.
The Brit dropped serve five times and made a number of sloppy unforced errors, lasting less than an hour against the 13th-seeded Wawrinka, who had won their two only previous meetings on clay. Murray was jeered off the court.
Earlier, eight-time defending champion Rafael Nadal extended his Monte Carlo winning streak to 44 matches by beating Philipp Kohlschreiber 6-2, 6-4.
Sixth-seeded Jo-Wilfried Tsonga also advanced with a clinical 6-3, 6-0 win against Jurgen Melzer, breaking the Austrian player four times, and fourth-seeded Tomas Berdych again struggled on his serve as he lost 6-4, 6-2 to Italian Fabio Fognini.
Later, top-ranked Novak Djokovic was playing No. 14 Juan Monaco.
