Murray
Andy commented “If you want to win the big competitions, you’ll have to come through difficult situations. Last year, I didn’t come through enough of them. I lost a lot of matches from winning positions, and this year I managed to turn that around, which was very positive.”
Dimitrov: I had too many opportunities
Grigor wasn’t happy for the final result, but at least he was happy with his tennis “I was happy with the way I played at least, but that’s about it,” said Grigor. “I had too many opportunities. That’s the only thing. If that you have many and you don’t I want to say that’s about it. Everything else felt pretty good. The body held up well for three hours, so good things ahead.”
Next vs. Gasquet
Andy will play Richard Gasquet in the quarters. Head to head is 5-3 for the Scott, but Gasquet may have an edge as he had less taxing 3rd round (he defeated Cilic 7-5 6-3).
