According to the BBC, Murray will now face 20th seed Kevin Anderson in the last 16 on Monday after the South African advanced by defeating Fabio Fognini.

Murray said that Bautista Agut is the best opponent he has played so far, and as a step up he felt that he responded well.

The Scot also said that there are a few things that he could improve on but added that it was a good first week.
