Andy Murray turned in an impressive performance to bring David Nalbandian's 11-match winning streak to an end with a 6-2, 6-2 quarter-final victory at the Toronto Masters yesterday.

The fourth-seeded Murray will now face either World No 1 Rafael Nadal or Germany's Philipp Kohlschreiber.

"I played very well," said Murray, who had been beaten in two previous meetings with the muscular Argentine, a former World No 3 whose career has been hit by recent injuries.

"I knew I had to play aggressive and take charge. If you don't, he will dictate play and make you run. I took charge and it worked. I knew form the start that I would have to play my best today."u00a0
