Paris: World No.1 Andy Murray secured his place in the last eight at the French Open with a sweep over Karen Khachanov on Monday.
Murray beat the 21-year-old Khachanov 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 in two hours and four minutes to record the 650th win of his career. He finished five aces and a total of 29 winners.
“I think today was probably the best I have played overall,” said the top seeded Murray.
For Khachanov, losing the match was always hard to bite: “It’s never fun to lose a match, but I took a great experience from this match to play on the centre court,” he said. (IANS)
