Predictions
As Former world number one Andy Murray reached his first ATP quarter-final in two years on Wednesday with a straight sets win over Canada’s Vasek Pospisil at the Moselle Open.
Murray, now ranked at 113, swept to a convincing 6-3, 6-3 victory and will face either top seeded Hubert Hurkacz of Poland or French player Lucas Pouille for a place in the semi-finals.
It will be his first appearance in the last-eight since winning his 46th career title at Antwerp in October 2019.
The 34-year-old Murray, who has undergone two hip surgeries in the last three years, broke the 66th-ranked Pospisil four times in his one-hour, 24-minute triumph to claim a fifth win in six meetings against the Canadian.
