Andy Murray advanced to his eighth quarterfinal in a row at a major tennis tournament, completing a straight set victory over Milos Raonic at the U.S. Open minutes before rain started to fall in New York.
Murray, the men’s No. 3 seed from Britain, took exactly two hours to complete a 6-4, 6-4, 6-2 win over the 15th-seeded Canadian last night at the National Tennis Center. Murray didn’t face a break point in the match, which tournament organizers moved to an earlier start time with the weather forecast calling for patches of rain throughout the night.
