BERLIN — World number three Andy Murray remained on course for a first career clay court title after the Briton battled back from a set down to beat Czech Lukas Rosol 4-6 6-3 6-2 and reach the semi-finals of the Munich Open on Saturday.
The 27-year-old Scot advanced to play Spaniard Roberto Agut, who also initially struggled against Dominican Victor Burgos before winning 4-6 6-0 6-0, later on Saturday after rain washed out play on Friday.
With new coach Jonas Bjorkman watching in the stands, Murray forged an early break to race into a 4-1 lead but soon found himself struggling with the Czech's thundering groundstrokes that pinned him to the back of the court.
