Andy Murray reaches European Open quarter-finals with victory over Pablo Cuevas

Andy Murray eased into the European Open quarter-finals with a straight-sets victory over eighth seed Pablo Cuevas in Antwerp.

Britain's former world number one - now ranked 243rd - beat the Uruguayan 6-4 6-3 in 84 minutes.

It marks only Murray's second ATP Tour-level win in 16 months as he continues his return from hip surgery.

The two-time Wimbledon champion, 32, will play Romania's world number 92 Marius Copil in the last eight.

World number 45 Cuevas, 33, saved seven break points in the first set against Murray before the Scot eventually broke his serve at 5-4 up to take the early advantage.
