Easy peasy for Andy: he wins by 3 & 4. Tipsy in the quarter-final (head-to-head 4-3, with Andy beating him most recently in straight sets in the last 16 at Queen's last year).

I didn't think it was so very easy, it looked more like a war of attrition. He never looked like losing but Simon made him work for it. That first game of more than 17 minutes. . . you could almost see the rust dropping off.

Tipsy is worrying. He is dangerous when playing well.

ROCK3 · Lower Club Player

First set to Tipsarevic 6 -4

Murray needs patience in the wind and against the Serb

ROCK3 · Lower Club Player

Murray is not well.
A struggle against his opponent and healthwise with help from magic pills from the trainer

Tipsy has always been a tough opponent for Andy, so not at all surprised by this, didn't think he was at his best against Simon. Added to the fact he doesn't feel great makes it nigh on impossible.

Stircrazy · Tennis legend

Andy broken at the start of the second set, but has just got the break back: *2-2.

Stircrazy · Tennis legend

But is immediately broken again, to 30, in the fifth game: 2-3*. Not looking too clever for him... cry

Stircrazy · Tennis legend

But he digs himself out of the hole for now & holds - eventually - for 4-3*.
