It was a superb fight back of Andy, grinding down David
Ferrer to reach his fourth successive Wimbledon
semis.
From a set and a break down, Murray came back and went through after 4
sets in three hours and 52 minutes.
This was a sweet revenge for the Scot after beaten by Ferrer
in the quarter-finals of the French Open.
No British man has won a major since Fred Perry landed the
Wimbledon and US Open titles in 1936, and Murray
is the best hope in recent years.
Murray into semis |
After the match, Murray
said: “It was a very tough match, a long match, a lot of tight moments. He’s a
great player and sometimes doesn’t get enough respect.
“I’ve known him for a long time and he’s an unbelievably
hard worker”
But it would have required more than hard work to beat Murray in this form. A
rain delay in the fourth set only delayed the inevitable. However, Ferrer had
given Murray a
stern test after taking the first set and won a break in the second set.
