American Nakashima provided a stern test and was just two points away a decider when Murray served to stay in the second set at 6-5, but the Brit was able to avoid going to a decider and sealed a 6-4 7-6(1) victory an hour and 37 minutes. Ad/> Breezy conditions made life difficult for both the two-time Wimbledon champion and Nakashima, and Murray was pleased to manage the combination of the conditions, his opponent and the worn courts to win his quarter-final.
