I wasnt actually aware of the record so thats nice. Hopefully I can get through the next round and get past him. The victory in California saw Murray book a quarter-final match-up with Spains Feliciano Lopez, who edged past Japans Kei Nishikori. Referring to his win over 26-year-old Mannarino, the Scot said: It was a very tough match, hes playing very well this year and hes got a very tricky game. Hes a lefty but he has a very flat backhand and a short take-back on his forehand so its hard to read. He moves well and he has good hands around the net - in both sets though he played one or two loose games which helped me and I stayed solid throughout.

I tried to make a lot of balls and he didnt play a great game in the next game and that stopped his momentum. I started to feel more comfortable after that and went for my shots more.
