The Championships, Wimbledon Gentlemen's Singles Quarterfinals


Andy Murray vs. Juan Carlos Ferrero


Murray leads series 1-0


Last Meeting - 2009 London - Queen's Club


Murray won 6-2, 6-4




Andy Murray has evoked a nationwide euphoria among sporting fans, all hoping for this Briton to win the coveted championship that last belonged to the great Fred Perry. Murray's tussle with Swiss Stanislas Wawrinka gave a hint that with every single round passing, the Scot is struggling to stay in contention. This is definitely not a good sign, especially since five time champion Federer has been in such enthralling form, losing only a set to reach the last eight.


Ferrero registered some really impressive wins over Claycourt specialists like Gilles Simon and Fernando Gonzalez and so Murray's only edge is his ability to come to the net more often than his baseliner opponent.
