Murray in regal form as Gasquet sent packing

Reuters - Briton Andy Murray received the royal seal of approval as he overran Richard Gasquet 7-6 6-3 6-2 on Monday to reach the Wimbledon quarter-finals.

The fourth seed, watched from the Centre Court royal box by Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge, expertly dealt with the considerable threat of the Frenchman.

Murray clinically took his chances in the warm sunshine while 17th seed Gasquet, who took the Scot to five sets at the grass court grand slam in 2008, squandered the few opportunities he had..

One of unseeded duo Lukasz Kubot or Feliciano Lopez await in the last eight.
