Murray wins Battle of Britain at Queen’s

Andy Murray won the all-British battle against 21-year-old Kyle Edmund at Queen’s Club to reach the semi-finals of the Aegon Championships.

The four-time champion was made to work for his victory, though, as his Davis Cup team-mate Edmund broke serve three times during the match.

Murray won the first set but Edmund – the world number 85 – hit back to level by taking the second, with some strong forehands and neat volleys.[phone][/phone]

However, the class and experience of the Scot showed in the decider as he cruised to a 6-4, 3-6, 6-1 victory.

Murray will play Marin Cilic in the last four, after the 2012 champion defeated American Steve Johnson.

Third seed Milos Raonic will play Bernard Tomic in the other semi-final.

Raonic beat Roberto Bautista-Agut 6-1, 6-4 while Tomic needed three sets to overcome Luxembourg veteran Gilles Muller.
