WIMBLEDON, England (AP)—Britain’s Andy Murray has advanced to the quarterfinals at Wimbledon after defeating American Sam Querrey in straight sets.
The fourth-seeded Murray took just over 2 hours to win 7-5, 6-3, 6-4 and reach the final eight for the third consecutive year. He is the only player in the men’s draw who hasn’t lost a set.
Murray served out the match after breaking Querrey in the ninth game of the third set.
Murray is seeking to become the first British player to win the men’s singles title since 1936.
Murray was broken just once and was the steadier of the two players. He had just 16 unforced errors, compared to his opponent’s 35.
Murray faces 10th-seeded Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga for a berth in the semifinals.
