Murray hits back to see off Moya

Tennis, 10:28, August 2, 2008

Andy Murray came from a set down to defeat Carlos Moya 2-6 6-3 6-1 and secure a place in the Cincinnati Masters semi-finals.

Britain's number one and world number nine started poorly when he was broken in the opening game of the first set as he looked to emulate his impressive performance against Dmitry Tursunov in the previous round.
However after dropping serve early in the second set, Murray stormed back to win the next five games and levelled the match, before going on to take the third with ease. He will now face Roger Federer's conqueror Ivo Karlovic of Croatia in the last four.
"It was really tough at the start," Murray said. "He was serving well, and I threw in a lot of unforced errors."
On his prospects of victory in Cincinnati, he added: "I think I can win a Masters Series, and I'd love to do it this week. I played well last week and had a tight match against Nadal.
"I'm playing well enough and can hopefully come through."
