Murray sets up Nadal clash

Andy Murray made great strides on his least favourite surface yesterday, and afterwards looked forward to learning more when he takes on the best in the business.

The Scot made it through to his first quarter-final on the dirt courtesy of a 7-6 (13/11) 6-4 win over Fabio Fognini, the second set of which had to be played yesterday morning because of the rain which affected the Monte Carlo Rolex Masters the previous day.
