Murray won each of his matches this week in under one hour
Andy Murray advanced to the BNP Paribas Masters quarter-finals for the sixth time on Thursday in Paris. Second seed Murray lost seven of his service points in a 6-1, 6-0 victory over No. 16 seed David Goffin in 53 minutes. He is now 8-0 lifetime against Belgians.
Murray has dropped just four games in two matches this week, having beaten Borna Coric 6-1, 6-2 in 59 minutes on Wednesday. He now meets Richard Gasquet, the No. 10 seed, who is one match win away from equalling his best performance in Paris (2007 semi-finals) after he led 7-6(3), 4-1 only to see sixth seed Kei Nishikori retire due to an abdominal injury.
“It was difficult for me to do something today,” said Goffin. “I felt tired. My body was on the court, but there was nobody on the inside.” Murray is set to meet Goffin again in the Davis Cup final, from 27-29 November, when Great Britain faces Belgium in Ghent.
