Andy Murray has booked his place in the men's quarter-finals at the US Open quarter-finals after a straight-sets win over Gregor Dimirtov.
Murray won the game in just over two-hours, after defeating the Bulgarian 6-1, 6-2, 6-2 at the Arthur Ashe Stadium. It is the fifth time in six years that the 2012 champion has reached the quarter-final stages.
Kei Nishikori awaits Murray in the last-eight. The Japanese star defeated Croatia's Ivo Karlovic in straight-sets. 37-year-old Karlovic was the oldest player to reach the fourth round of a Grand Slam in 25 years.
Juan Martin del Potro's resurgence continued as Dominic Thiem was forced to withdraw in their match. The Argentine won the first set 6-3 and was leading 3-2 in the second when Thiem has to withdraw with a knee injury.
