Murray beats Istomin to set up quarterfinal clash with Wawrinka at US Open

Defending US Open Champion Andy Murray has reached the quarterfinals of the men's singles event at the Flushing Meadows, after he beat Uzbek Denis Istomin 6-7, 6-1, 6-4, 6-4.

Murray now faces 9th seed Swiss player Stanislas Wawrinka in the quarterfinals, and if he gets through, he is likely to set up a clash with World No. 1 Novak Djokovic.

After losing the first set, the Scot came back into form to win the second set easily and then won the next two sets to survive a slight scare.
