Andy Murray rallied from a set and a break down against Gilles Simon to advance to his first semi-final since he won last year’s Wimbledon title while top seed David Ferrer retired with a thigh strain at the Acapulco International.
Second seed Murray twice fell behind in the second set but recovered both breaks immediately to eke out a 1-6 7-6 6-2 victory and stretch a winning streak against his French opponent to 12 matches. Murray’s semi-finals opponent will be Grigor Dimitrov, who needed two hours and 40 minutes to battle past Ernests Gulbis 4-6 7-6 7-5 in the final quarter-final match of the day at Cancha Central.
