he will set up a match with andy murray in the last four in a repeat of last yea r‘s murray in the lastthe upset of the day was defending champion novak djokovic, beaten by the austrian, dominic thiem. the former world number one rally pushed the last of his grand slam titles. dominic thiem, never having beaten before, took the third 6—0, which has never happened to the serbian in 12 years in a major tournament, such has been his sudden loss of form. john mcenroe has been critical of his performance. inextricable. i don't recall seeing a time in the last 6—8 years when novak djokovic mailed it in. he basically gave up. i saw rafael nadal do that. that was in the third set against novak djokovic a couple of years ago. in the third set it looks like it happens to novak djokovic. he did not want to be out there competing any more. that is shocking for someone who has won as much as he has and brighton sofyan competition. it shows everyone is human. —— prides himself in competition. rafael nadal‘s opponent retired having been injured. you would not bet against rafael nadal going for his 10t

tall, you would expect his game to be all about power, but it was his deft touch that challenged andy murray there is more than 50 places in the rankings between them was clear. while murray's errors were few and far between, khachanov‘s inexperienced show. the britain isn't yet back to his best but when he stumbled he soon recovered. on occasions he was broken in the second and third sets but he hit back immediately. a better opponent may have capitalised on the wobble but his hunger for a 29th quarterfinal is clear. very well received words from andy murray there. so he's safely through to the last eight at roland garros but not such good news for andy's brotherjamie though — he and doubles partner brazlian bruno soares were knocked out by santiago gonzalez and donald young in the doubles quarter finals. murray and soares took the first set but then lost the next two on tie breaks. we should have closed it out in the second set, but we were unable to find a break in the third set. we ended up losing the tie—break. it was disappointing, it was a tough one to swallow but we had enough chance

despite battling with injury and illness andy murray is targeting success in paris.r—up last year admits he needs to play himself into form and world number 50 martin klizan provided a suitable test. the slovakian is anything but conventional but he also packs an impressive punch as he broke serve early on. a resilient murray fought back yet the first set went the other way after a tie—break. before the word "absurd" could start creeping around roland garros the world number one was back on form. —— upset. the opening set forgotten as murray to the second and third looking far more assured. but the fourth was anything but, martin klizan racing into the lead, the drop shot his men worked on. once again, though, murray showed why he is the world one, his power and determination bringing the game back onto his terms. victory followed soon afterwards for murray returning to form at just the right soon afterwards for murray returning to form atjust the right time. and he will bejoined in to form atjust the right time. and he will be joined in the third round by kyle edmun

what are andy murray's chances realistically at wimbledon this year, as far as the successful defence? it's very hard to say. we don't know how much of a problem this hip is. will it cause him pain, hinder his movement? to lose in the first round at queens to the world number 90 wasn't part of the plan. my number 90 wasn't part of the plan. my feeling all along is if murray is fit, given his record over the last five years, his form at the french 0pen five years, his form at the french open on clay is more destructive of his chances rather than the first round defeat at queen's club. it over the best—of—5 sets in the grand slams where he and the likes of federer and nadal and until recently djokovic, have held quite a lot of sway over the rest of the world. these guys are still incredibly difficult to beat, especially early on. it might be that that great grass court pedigree bisons and i'm breathing space and helped him fight his way into the championships. also carrying british hopes next week is the british womens' no.1, johanna konta, who is a genuine contender for the ladies titl
