英语文摘：Murray blitzs Roddick for quarters berth at Paris Masters

PARIS, Nov. 10 (Xinhua) -- Scot Andy Murray made it 18 games unbeaten by beating Andy Roddick 6-2, 6-2 to reach the last eight at the Paris Masters quarterfinals here on Thursday.

Murray needed just 62 minutes to send Roddick crashing in straight sets, making the American smash his racket into the ground at one stage.

"I started the match well, which is always important against Roddick because he plays his best when he's ahead and can put pressure on you," said the second seed.

"As I broke him early on, I was able to dictate what happened and I played very well," he added.

Murray will now face Czech fifth seed and 2005 champion Tomas Berdych, who beat 11th-seeded Serbian Janko Tipsarevic in straight sets.

Tipsarevic's defeat means the line-up for the year-end ATP Tour Finals in London has now been finalized, with Berdych, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Mardy Fish claiming the three places that were up for grabs at the start of the tournament. Enditem
