Andy Murray came through a pulsating encounter against John Isner on Thursday to book his place in the quarter-finals of the 2015 Shanghai Masters.

The world No. 2 lost the opening set against the big-serving American but fought back well to take the match in two-and-a-half hours.


Rafael Nadal came through a tough clash with Milos Raonic in two sets to take his place in the quarter-finals also. He will face Stan Wawrinka, who needed three sets to overcome Marin Cilic.

Top-seed Novak Djokovic had a much easier time of it, as he made the last eight after a routine straight-sets victory over Feliciano Lopez. But South Africa's Kevin Anderson knocked out Kei Nishikori.

The American almost broke straight back as he went into a 15-40 lead. But after Murray had saved one break point with a big second serve, he pulled a superlative backhand pass out of the bag to move to deuce.&n...
