Britain's Andy Murray reached the semi-finals of the ATP Challenger event in Aix-en-Provence to boost his clay-court preparations before the French Open.
The 35-year-old beat French teenager Luca van Assche 6-2 7-6 (8-6) to reach the last four at the event, which is a tier below the main ATP Tour.
Murray entered on a wildcard to get more match time after first-round exits from Monte Carlo and Madrid last month.
The three-time Grand Slam champion next faces Alexander Bublik or Harold Mayot.
Murray is seeking a first title since 2019 as he gears up to make what would be only his second French Open appearance in six years when the Grand Slam starts on 28 May.
