Wimbledon 2016: Andy Murray beats Nick Kyrgios to reach quarter-finals

Andy Murray saw off the threat of Australian rising star Nick Kyrgios with a clinical performance to reach his ninth Wimbledon quarter-final.

The Briton, seeded second, won 7-5 6-1 6-4 on Centre Court and will next face French 12th seed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga on Wednesday.

After matching Murray for 40 minutes, Kyrgios' challenge faded quickly under sustained pressure from the Scot.

Murray, the 2013 champion, is into the last eight without dropping a set.
