Andy Murray will face Romania's Victor Hanesecu for the first time in the second round of the Rolex Monte Carlo Masters.

The world number 35 booked his place against the Scot, who is seeded fourth despite his mixed record on clay, with a straightforward straight sets 6-2, 6-3 win over Spanish qualifier Alberto Martin.

The British number one has never progressed beyond the third round in Monaco while his 27-year opponent has shown a greater pedigree on the red dirt.

He reached the quarter-finals last week in Casablanca and claimed his only ATP Tour title on the surface in Gstaad - another resort for millionaire playboys - last year.
