Battling Murray sets up Nadal duel

ANDY MURRAY came from two sets down to beat Richard Gasquet in a thrilling Centre court showdown — to set up a quarter-final clash with Rafael Nadal today.

The Scot looked down and out when Gasquet served for the match in the third set but he recovered for a superb 5-7 3-6 7-6 (7-3) 6-2 6-4 victory as light faded over SW19 last night.

Nadal, earlier dispatched Mikhail Youzhny 6-3 6-3 6-1. The Spanish second seed avenged the worst defeat of his career — a 6-0 6-1 thrashing in Chennai earlier this year — by battering Youzhny into submission in two hours and 10 minutes on Court One.
