Nottingham (UK) | Former world number one Andy Murray overcame a tough challenge from Dominic Striker to reach the semi-finals of the Nottingham Open here.
Scotland’s Murray is yet to drop a set this week after beating Stryker 7-6(2), 7-5 in the quarter-finals of the Rothesay Open on Friday.
Murray took the lead over the 20-year-old in the opening set, dropping just one point on his first serve. Trailing 1-3 in the second set, he came back and got a decisive break in the 11th game to wrap up the match in one hour and 48 minutes.
The three-time major champions have won 13 of their last 14 Challenger-level matches, including title wins in Aix-en-Provence and last week in Surbiton.
The 36-year-old will next face Nuno Borges, who beat Japan’s Sho Shimabukuro 6-4, 6-4. Borges earned his biggest career title earlier this season when he won the premier Challenger 175 event in Phoenix.
