Andy Murray got revenge for his French Open exit by beating David Ferrer in 4 sets at Wimbledon to book his place in the semi finals of the tournament.
The British number one held his nerve to win two out of the three tie-breaks in the match to seal a semi final place against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga on Friday.
Murray had to dig deep after losing the first set to Ferrer. The Scot was broken by his Spanish opponent in the fourth game but rallied late on to break back and take the 1st set into a tie-break which Ferrer took 7-5.
It was a similar tale in the second set with Murray once again having to come back from a break down to decide the set by a tie-break, but this time it would be Murray who would triumph. Winning 8-6 to level the match.
The Scot seemed to grow in confidence and crucially broke Ferrer in the third set in the ninth game before closing out the set 6-4.
Only a rain delay stopped Murray's progress in the fourth set , as for the third and final time, the set would be decided on a tie-break. The world number 4 taking it 7-4 to win in three hours and 52 minutes to reach a fourth successive Wimbledon semi-final.
Murray will face Jo Wilfried Tsonga who beat Philipp Kohlschreiber, also in four sets after being a down a set. The number five seed winning 4-6, 7-6, 6-4, 6-4.
And if Murray can beat the Frenchman, he'll face either reigning champion Novak Djokovic or six time Wimbledon champion Roger Federer in the final at the All England Club after both came through their quarter finals with relative ease. Djokovic beating Florian Mayer 6-4 6-1 6-4 while Federer cruised past Mikhail Youzhny 6-3, 6-2, 6-3
