Murray Overcomes Blip to Reach Queens Club Semis

LONDON — Andy Murray overcame a first-set wobble to keep alive his hopes of a fourth Queen's Club title with a 3-6 7-6 (2) 6-4 quarter-final victory over Luxembourg giant-killer Gilles Muller at the Aegon Championships on Friday.

A day after Muller felled 2014 champion Grigor Dimitrov, the big-serving left hander looked to be on the verge of another shock as he overwhelmed the British top seed in the first set with some bullet-like serving before the pair went toe-to-toe in the second.

However, a misfired smash that flew wide in the tiebreak appeared to take the fight out of Muller and Murray leveled the contest to the delight of the cheering crowd at the pre-Wimbledon grasscourt event.
