“She’s a great player,” said Williams of her opponent. “The conditions are so tough and it was not her best tennis today. I’ve been playing here for like 50 years so I’ve kind of got used to the conditions.”

Murray will now play against Swiss player Stanislas Wawrinka in the quarter-final of the competition on Thursday.

 

“I wanted to just try and get through the match,” said Murray was quoted as saying on BBC Sports.

 ”In the end it was difficult conditions. It was extremely windy.”

 

“With the way he plays, he hits the ball pretty big and flat on both sides, strokes pretty low, hard at times to control. He made it very difficult for me.”

 

“With the way the third set ended up going, I was just very happy to get it done because he had chances at the end of the third set to go ahead.”
