LONDON — Top-seeded Andy Murray stayed on course for a fourth title at Queen's Club by overcoming Gilles Muller of Luxembourg 3-6, 7-6 (2), 6-4 on Friday to reach the semifinals.
Like in previous matches this week, Murray struggled early against a solid opponent. Muller broke to lead 3-1, and Murray failed to convert two break points in the next game. The second set then went with serve until Murray finally raised his game and was able to dominate the tiebreaker.
He then broke early in the third, which was enough to decide the match.
"You need a bit of luck sometimes when you're playing against someone who serves like Gilles," said Murray.
