Defending champion Andy Murray continued his serene passage into the Madrid Masters semi-finals by sweeping past eighth seed Tomas Berdych 6-3, 6-2 on Friday.
Murray didn’t even face a break point for the second consecutive match as he adjusted to the indoor conditions caused by the unusually inclement weather in the Spanish capital to extend his winning record over Berdych to 8-6.
He will face Rafael Nadal in the semi-finals after the Spaniard saw off Portugal’s Joao Sousa (6-0, 4-6, 6-3).
