Murray storms into the quarter-finals at SW19
Andy Murray produced a performance to match the scorching conditions on Centre Court as he blew away Richard Gasquet in straight sets to take his place in the last eight at Wimbledon.
Murray's previous meeting with the Frenchman at SW19 had seen the pair play out an epic five-set encounter and many foresaw a similarly tight battle this time around.
But having edged a tight first set on a tie-break, the Scot ran away with things and ultimately emerged a convincing 7-6 (7-3) 6-3 6-2 victor.
Murray will now face either Lukasz Kubot or Feliciano Lopez in the quarter-finals and will be a heavy favourite to reach his third consecutive semi-final at the tournament.
"It was good," the British number one said of his performance. "I thought I served well, it was very quick out there with the conditions.
"Both of us were a bit tentative off the ground to start with but I'm happy to get through."
