Murray once again showed that he is a force to be reckoned with on the grass, as a straight sets victory launched him into the Lexus Surbiton Trophy quarter-finals.
Despite the Brit breaking his opponent in the sixth game, Bu fought back immediately to get the opening set back on serve and force the opening set to be settled by a tie-break. Former world No.1 Murray wasted no time – sprinting to a 6-0 lead to take the advantage going into the second set. in the second-round contest.
Serving with power and accuracy, it was only a matter of time before the world No.41 found a breakthrough as he eventually converted on his fifth break point opportunity of the set. In classic Murray style, he topped off another near flawless performance on the grass with a hold to love, and his 16th ace of the match.
Meanwhile Peniston's run came to an end at the hands of world No.96 Kubler. In a close opening set, it was the Australian who took his chances when they arose – securing the only break of serve at 5-3 before successfully serving it out for the set.
Kubler continued to mount the pressure on the Brit, with Peniston fending off seven break points before eventually conceding on the eighth to go a break down at 5-4. Despite the Australian serving for the match, Peniston showcased his fighting spirit – immediately breaking back to keep the contest alive.
However, it wasn’t mean to be for the British No.7 in the tie-break as Kubler sealed the win to set up a quarter-final clash against Murray.
Harriet Dart and Lily Miyazaki have joined an additional five women who made it through to the second round of the Lexus Surbiton Trophy after picking up wins on day three.
Dart came through a tough opening round battle on Wednesday, after a comeback win saw her defeat Magali Kempen 2-6, 6-4, 6-3.
A strong start from the Belgian saw the British No.4 trail a break from the get-go. With Kempen firing from all cylinders, the world No.196 proved too strong for Dart to contain, as she eventually found the double break to take the first set against on Centre Court.
With the support of a home crowd behind her Dart visibly increased her level in the second set. After saving break point on her own serve to make it 5-4, the Brit dug deep to find a break point opportunity of her own which she later converted to level the contest and force the match to a decisive set.
With her foot pressed firmly on the gas, Dart continued to grind Kempen down as she moved ahead to a 5-2 lead in the third set, before wrapping up the victory on her first match point to book her place in the second round where she will face first seed Tatjana Maria.
Meanwhile, wild card Lily Miyazaki got her campaign off to a winning start after a 3-6, 6-2, 6-4 victory in a battle of the Brits showdown against Jodie Burrage.
Both Brits took time to settle into the match with three consecutive breaks of serve kicking off the opening set – but it was the 2022 Lexus Surbiton Trophy semi-finalist Burrage who found her feet first to find the crucial break that would eventually see her take the opening set.
However, the second saw the momentum shift in the direction Miyazaki, who fought hard to claw her way back into the all-British contest. Injecting pace and power behind her groundstrokes, the world No.209 soon found the double break before sprinkling in a forehand slice that Burrage returned into the net.
With the scoreboard levelled at one set apiece, it was Miyazaki who found a late break through in the deciding set to defeat the British No.2 for only the second time in her career and book another all-British clash with Eden Silva in the second round.

Top seed Dan Evans is safely through to the second round of the Lexus Surbiton trophy off the back of a 6-4, 6-4 triumph over James McCabe.
Evans got off to a solid start against the big-serving Australian and showed why he’s the only player to win three ATP Challenger titles on grass since 1999.
The British No.2 dominated the early exchanges and took advantage of McCabe’s seeming discomfort on the grass, breaking in just the third game.
A former champion back in 2019, Evans gave the Australian little to no chance of clawing his way back into the match. Thanks to his impressive serve and volley combination, Evans only dropped six of 46 points on serve through both sets to see himself into the second round.
There he will play Gabriel Diallo, who held off Britain's Liam Broady with two breaks in the final games of both sets to win 6-4, 6-4.
British qualifier Dan Cox narrowly lost to Constant Lestienne 3-6, 6-3, 7-5, with Billy Harris going out in straight sets to Rinky Hijikata.

Bu will play second seed Andy Murray in the second round.
16-year-old Isabelle Lacy, Katie Boulter, Katie Swan, Sonay Kartal and Eden Silva are all through to the second round of the W100 draw on an action-packed day two.
18U Junior Nationals champion Lacy opened the action on Centre Court with an upset win over third seed Madison Brengle 7-6(2), 5-7, 6-1.
Lacy showed her mental toughness to fight back from a break down in the opener, with Brengle serving for the set, to force and eventually win the tie-break.
In a close match which saw over 30 break points between them, would eventually go the distance, but the young Brit saved her best tennis for last. She remained aggressive in the decisive moments and simply outplayed Brengle in every aspect – breaking her four times to clinch the biggest win of her career and first against a top 100 opponent.
Lacy moves on to play USA's Sachia Vickery in the second round.
Boulter got her Lexus Surbiton Trophy campaign off to a lighting start with a 6-2, 6-1 win over Australia's Olivia Gadecki.
Playing at Surbiton for the first time in five years, Boulter proved too strong for Gadecki from the opening points and broke her first three service games to set the tone. Boulter needed just an hour and 10 minutes to close out the win and book a clash with fellow Brit Kartal in the second round.
Kartal kick-strated her grass court season with a 6-3, 6-2 victory over world No.136 Viktoria Hruncakova.
Swan put in a dominant performance in her first round match against Carol Zhao, defeating the Canadian 6-2, 6-0 in just over an hour. Up next, either Maia Lumsden or seventh seed Oceane Dodin.
27-year-old Silva secured an impressive 6-4, 6-4 win over Mexico's Marcela Zacarias - ranked almost 200 places higher than the Brit. Silva will play one of two fellow Brits in the next round - the winner of Jodie Burrage against Lily Miyazaki.
Heather Watson is out of this year's competition, having lost to Australia's Maddison Inglis 2-6, 7-6(3), 7-6(6). Watson had two match points and led by a break twice in the third but couldn't shake off Inglis, who took the match in three hours.
Andy Murray and Ryan Peniston were the first two British players to secure their place in the second round of the Lexus Surbiton Trophy, as five Brits also fought their way through qualifying.
Murray cruised to a 6-3, 6-2 win over former ATP Next Gen champion and Australian Open semi-finalist Hyeon Chung, while Pensiton defeated Jiri Vesely of Czech Republic 6-4, 6-2.
Murray is set to face either Yunchaokete Bu or Harry Wendelken, while Peniston takes on Australia's Jason Kubler.
Following a bright start from the former world No.19, Chung’s recent lack of match play began to show, with a nervy double fault followed by another error, giving the former world No.1 the early break and a 3-1 lead.
Murray showed his experience throughout and looked very comfortable back on the surface that has seen him lift two Grand Slams and win an Olympic gold medal. He dropped just five points on serve to wrap up the opening set and made a quick start in the second.
After breaking in the opening game the match became fairly routine for Murray, who crowned a quality first round performance with a brace of aces to see out the win in an hour and 12 minutes.
Having fallen behind 3-1 in the first set, Peniston raised his game to win 11 of the next 14 games – showing glimpses of the form that saw him reach the quarter-finals of the cinch Championships last year.
On his 2023 grass court season debut, the 27-year-old got the crowd on their feet with an array of winners from every angle on the court – finding the most success off his backhand – and eased to victory in an hour and 27 minutes.
Elsewhere, there were wins for Mark Whitehouse, Dan Cox, Billy Harris and Harry Wendelken to come through qualifying and reach the main draw.
Britain’s Isabelle Lacy, Maia Lumsden, and Emily Webley-Smith all qualified for the W100 event - meaning there will be 12 Brits in this year's main draw.
