Andy Murray has reached the last 16 at Wimbledon after surviving his toughest test yet against German Tommy Haas.

The 21-year-old Scot, seeded 12, came through 6-4 6-7 6-3 6-2 to move into the second week where he will face flamboyant Frenchman Richard Gasquet for a place in his first grand slam quarter-final.

Murray played sublime tennis to lead by a set and a break before Haas pounced on a temporarily lapse to level the match on a tie-break

Murray played sublime tennis to lead by a set and a break before Haas pounced on a temporarily lapse to level the match on a tie-break.

Haas missed an easy volley on a break point at 1-1 in the third set when Murray was wobbling and he was made to pay in the next game when he dropped serve.

Murray seized control again and Haas hardly got a look in as the home favourite surged to victory with some dazzling tennis.
