Andy Murray: "It was a tough match"

Andy Murray believes that he showed resilience to overcome Marin Cilic in the quarter-finals of the Miami Masters.

The Scot was made to work hard for his 6-4 6-3 victory in Key Biscayne and will now face Richard Gasquet in the last four.

"I think it was a very good match after the first few games, from my side," Murray told Sky Sports News. "Obviously I had 0-40 in the first game, didn't get it and went a break behind.

"But every time I got broken, I think I broke straight back. I came back well from the setbacks and used good variation to keep him off-balance.

"It was a tough match, it was hot and we had some long points, long games, and I'm glad I came through in two sets."

Murray is the highest-ranked player left in the tournament.
