Battle of the Brits: Andy Murray & Dan Evans into semi-finals

Andy Murray passed the latest test of his fitness with a victory over James Ward that sent him into the semi-finals at the Battle of the Brits.

The Scot, 33, won 6-3 7-5 at the charity event at the National Tennis Centre in Roehampton, his first event since November after a pelvic injury.

The three-time Grand Slam champion is joined in the last four by British number one Dan Evans, who outclassed Cameron Norrie 6-3 6-3.

The semi-finals are on Saturday.

Murray's movement tested

If his opener against Liam Broady on Tuesday was simply about making a return to the court, and his narrow defeat by Kyle Edmund required aggression and provided a gauge of how competitive he could be, then this match was a test of his movement around the court.
