Andy Murray will face Jiri Lehecka in the Qatar Open semi-finals after beating the French qualifier Alexandre Müller in three sets.
Murray hit back strongly after losing the opening set to win 4-6, 6-1, 6-2 in two hours and three minutes against Müller, who defied his world ranking of 170 early in the match.
The 35-year-old Scot, who knocked out the German fourth seed, Alexander Zverev, in the previous round, was forced to produce some of his best tennis again as he stayed on course for his third title in Doha.
Murray told Amazon Prime in his on-court interview: “I had to start going for my shots a lot more. The first set I wasn’t doing enough with the ball and he was dictating a lot of the points and making me do a lot of running.
