Andy Murray was a 6-3 7-5 winner against Milos Raonic
Andy Murray kept alive his hopes of reaching the semi-finals of the ATP World Tour Finals with victory against Milos Raonic at the O2 Arena.
Roger Federer’s victory against Kei Nishikori earlier last night meant Murray knew he had to win to avoid early elimination.
And he did just that, the 6-3, 7-5 victory meaning all scenarios in Group B are still possible heading into the final round of matches tomorrow.
Murray could beat Federer and still go out depending on the score between Raonic and Nishikori, but equally a loss for Murray would not necessarily eliminate him.
The British number one said: “On Sunday against Nishikori, there wasn’t much magic. Today I came up with some good shots in the right moments. Milos didn’t serve as well as he can and that helped.
“It’s a nice match on Thursday to look forward to, it’ll be a great atmosphere again.
“It’s always a pleasure to play against Roger. He’s one of the greatest players that’s ever played so to get the opportunity to play him in an atmosphere like this is excellent.”
