"He deserves the titles that he's got, but his success doesn't affect how I feel about mine".

Despite holding the top spot in the ATP world rankings since November, Murray has exceeded pre-tournament expectations in Paris but he will now have the belief that he can reach a second successive final. Murray was badly in need of inspiration and he was handed it via umpire Carlos Ramos who gave the 2016 runner-up a time violation while serving at 1-1 in the second set. I think I know how to play him.

"It was flawless today, I'm very satisfied", Wawrinka said after his 12th win in 14 meetings with Cilic. Kei played a poor game to [allow me to] break.

"It was ideal today, I'm very satisfied", said Wawrinka who will be playing in his third successive Roland Garros semi-final.

Svitolina beat Halep in their latest duel in Rome this year, but she nearly failed to set up another clash with the Romanian. Beating him would be a huge effort, given where Murray has come from, but the Scot is enjoying winning without playing his best and knows anything is possible.

"The draw looked fairly tough in the beginning but now you would have to say you would be somewhat surprised if he didn't get at least to the semis, if not the final", he added. I think a little bit of rushing too much, [and I was] too aggressive sometimes.

That next match will be against the top-ranked Andy Murray on Wednesday. Wawrinka is going to be tough to beat as long as he keeps his unforced errors below 30, which he's done three times this tournament.

"Obviously now I beat Novak".

"I was missing a little more in the end than earlier in the match".

"Obviously for a couple of points after that I was sacked up, because I was frustrated at that moment", Murray said in his news conference after his 2-6, 6-1, 7-6 (0), 6-1 win over eighth-seeded Nishikori. He's still fighting, trying to find right way to find his tennis. Hopefully soon, because he's a great champion. "It was hard conditions".

It's based on a lot of preparation. I was able to talk with my coach and regroup again with what I have to do on the court.

The 32-year-old is the oldest man to make the last four at Roland Garros since Jimmy Connors in 1985.

How do you explain you're in such wonderful shape at your age? 'Well, tennis has changed tremendously. I don't think this has ever happened in recent years.'.
