Andy Murray v David Ferrer - live! Andy Murray is vying for a semi-final spot against either either Jo-Wilfried Tsonga or Philipp Kohlschreiber. Photograph: Adam Davy/PA First set: Ferrer 4-1 Murray* (* denotes server) Long rally for the first point as Murray looks to immediately break back, and he wins it as Ferrer finds the net. It's soon 15-15 all though as a precise first serve to Murray's backhand is too good. Some deep hitting and Murray again can't get the ball back in play with Ferrer's aggressive stance causing him all sorts of problems. He's still fighting in this game though and the next point provides a scintillating forehand across court which Ferrer sends long. More uncertainty from Murray as he again finds the net with an unforced error to go 40-30 down. But what scrambling in the next point! Great work-rate from the Brit as he brilliantly reaches a drop shot and his lob hits the baseline, before volleying Ferrer's next shot into a semi-open court. It's to no avail, however, as the Spaniard holds his nerve and sees out the game with two impressive serves. First set: Ferrer* 3-1 Murray (* denotes server) First point replayed after a line judge gives a bad call with Murray's backhand actually hitting the line. Here we go again and the Scot sends a deft slice over the net which beats Ferrer and is called good...he challenges the call and the ball was actually out, so we go to 0-15. Murray then powers a serve down which Ferrer can't reach but he challenges the decision, this time it's in. Murray goes 30-15 up as Ferrer's return hits the net before clinging on in the next point and sweeping a cross-court forehand past Murray. But it's another break point to the Spaniard at 30-40 as Murray's slice backhand goes wide and a tad long. And Murray is broken! The second serve is returned with venom and after a succession of backhands he smacks his forehand into the net. First set: Ferrer 2-1 Murray* (* denotes server) Murray goes 0-30 up with Ferrer shooting wide before sending a relatively simple smash long. Opportunity here but a strong serve followed by a wicked cross-court forehand gets him back in the game. Yet Ferrer then finds the net with a forehand in the next point, and Murray has two chances to break...Strong serve at 15-40 though and Murray can't get the ball backin play before a pinpoint ace past Murray's backhand. Pressure still on Ferrer at Deuce but a fabulous 23-stroke rally sees the Spaniard prevail, with the crowd giggling when Murray was straining every sinew to get to the ball. He's not best pleased with that but moves over for the next serve, which he hits into the net. Ferrer holds. First set: Ferrer* 1-1 Murray (* denotes server) Murray loses the first point of his service game and that is five straight for Ferrer, the Scot finding the net. His serve comes to the rescue at 15-15 before a 22-stroke rally again sees Murray hit low on the net. Ferrer hasn't missed a shot so far and looks in find nick. The game goes to 15-40 as a fine, deep return is right at Murray's feet and he hits the net once more. Two break points for Ferrer but the first is snuffed out with an ace down the middle. Another great return from the Spaniard at 30-40 but he doesn't come into the net when given the chance and hits a forehand wide. Deuce and another baseline rally sees Murray take advantage with Ferrer sending another forehand into the tramlines. It's same again on the final point of the game with Murray's backhand slice causing problems, another shot wide from Ferrer. Good hold. First set: Ferrer 1-0 Murray* (* denotes server) It's a simple opening game for the Spaniard with some strong seriving and excellent baseline play. Murray got his returns back for the first two points but could not get on the scorecard after a long rally at 40-0, Ferrer using an expert slice backhand deep into Murray's right corner.

Andy Murray is considered a stronger player on grass than David Ferrer and, despite losing to the Spaniard at the French Open, will go into his quarter-final as slight favourite. Yet if there is a weakness in Ferrer's game on this surface it was hard to spot in his fourth-round demolition of Juan Martín del Potro. The 6ft6in Argentinian has the distinction of being the last player outside the present top three to win a grand slam title - the US Open in 2009 - and at first it was difficult to see how Ferrer would be able to cope with an opponent who has a telescopic reach and a 125mph serve. It looked ominous when Ferrer had to save four break points on an opening service game that lasted almost 10 minutes, particularly when Del Potro ripped through the next to hold his serve to love. Yet that was as good as it got for the No9 seed. Ferrer broke his serve at the next opportunity, craftily using drop shots to good effect to bring Del Potro reluctantly to the net, and from that point the pattern of the match was established.
