ANDY Murray beat the rain and Marin Cilic to book his place in the quarter-finals of Wimbledon for a fifth successive year.

The pair had been forced off on Monday with the fourth seed leading 7-5, 3-1 and endured more disruption yesterday before Murray clinched a 7-5, 6-2, 6-3 victory under leaden skies on Court One.

The Scot had looked nervy at the start on Monday, but was much more fluent yesterday and moved smoothly through to a last-eight meeting with David Ferrer, who beat Juan Martin del Potro 6-3, 6-2, 6-3 under the Centre Court roof.

Murray's absence from Centre Court had caused some controversy on Monday, but the 25-year-old did not feel he had been unfairly treated.

He said: "I don't care which court I play on. It makes no difference. Any player would rather play on Centre because it's got the roof, so you'll get your match in."

Defending women's champion Petra Kvitova lost 6-3, 7-5 to Serena Williams in the quarter-finals.
