Murray faces Verdasco in quarter-final test

Andy Murray will face the Spaniard Fernando Verdasco in his Wimbledon quarter-final tie on Centre Court today (Wednesday 2 July).

The 29-year-old Spanish left-hander is ranked 54th in the world making Murray the strong favourite to progress to Friday's men's semi-finals.

But the Scot will be aware of the remarkable sequence of upsets that this year's tournament has produced and will be on his mettle against a player he has marked out as "dangerous".

Yesterday's women's quarter-finals brought yet another upset with the Belgian 20th seed Kirsten Flipkens defeating the number eight seed and former champion Petra Kvitova 6-4 3-6 6-4.

Sabine Lisicki followed her defeat of reigning champion Serena Williams by beating Kaia Kanepi - who put out Britain's Laura Robson - 6-3 6-3.

The top remaining women's seed and 2012 runner-up Agnieszka Radwanska, beat the Chinese number six seed Li Na, 7-6 (7-5) 4-6 6-2.

The French number 15 seed Marion Bartoli beat American Sloane Stephens 6-4 6-4.

In the women's semi-finals on Thursday, Sabine Lisicki will face Agnieszka Radwanska and Marion Bartoli will meet Kirsten Flipkens.

In the rest of the men's quarter-final ties, Novak Djokovic the Serbian number one seed will play the seventh seeded Tomáš Berdych. Spain's David Ferrer is drawn against Juan Martin del Potro of Argentina and the unseeded Lukasz Kubot of Poland faces his fellow countryman Jerzy Janowicz.
