Andy Murray has reached the quarter-finals of the Gijon Open by coming from a set down to defeat Pedro Cachin.

Murray, given a wildcard for the tournament in Spain, defeated his Argentine opponent 2-6 7-5 7-6 (7-3).

The British number three will face Spanish third seed Roberto Bautista Agut or American Sebastian Korda in the last eight.

Former world number one Murray is competing in his first tournament since September's Laver Cup.

He made hard work of this win, failing to take five break points in the first set while Cachin, ranked 61st in the world, converted two of his three.
