Easy stuff for Andy Murray that dismisses Gilles Simon 6-4 6-2 in just 1 hour and 39minutes in the 3rd round in Madrid. The Scot was always in firm control, and he had a decisive stint after the first part of the opening set when he won 5 consecutive games (from 4-all in the first to 6-4 3-0).
Murray. I managed to get into a rhythm
After the match, Andy commented ”I didn’t return that well at the beginning. But when I got into a rhythm, I was able to dictate a lot of points. I used my variety well and served well. He wasn’t able to put me under much pressure on my serve after the first couple of games.”
The quarters vs. Berdych.
Andy will play Tomas Berdych for a place in the semifinal. The Czech has beaten Ferrer in the 3rd round 7-6 (8) 7-5. The head to head between Murray and Berdych is 7-6 for Andy, but Tomas leads 3-0 on the dirt.
