Murray beats injury to make semis
Andy Murray produced a gritty display after falling and injuring his
ankle to beat Tommy Haas 3-6 6-3 7-6 (10-8) in the Indian Wells Masters in
California.
Murray needed treatment on his right foot in the first set and fell
heavily on his left ankle early in the second.
But he came back from a lengthy delay to win the next game and open up a
3-0 lead and managed to close out the set.
Murray saved two match points in the deciding tie-break before clinching
a superb win to reach the semi-finals.

"I can't really explain how I won the match," said the 19-year-old Scot.
"My ankle was hurting after the fall but my right hip hurt the most after
I landed badly on that and I also banged my knee.
"I just hope that when I wake up that everything is not too sore because
the important thing is my health as I've hurt my ankle before and don't want
to risk anything."
606: DEBATE
Murray has proved he's now a top five player

Early on, the ninth-seeded Haas looked in control of the match, dropping
only four points in his first three service games.
Murray had breaks points for 4-3 but missed out and was made to pay as
the German took the set, with a foot injury adding to his discomfort.
The second set began encouragingly for Murray as he claimed his first
break of the game, but when he overstretched for a ball, he went down in
evident pain and needed a long break for treatment.
But the delay did nothing to blunt his concentration as he took the set
comfortably.
After five deuces, Murray looked to have gained a vital advantage when
he broke for 4-3 in the deciding set, only for Haas to break straight back.
Then it was the German's turn to need injury treatment before the
tie-break.
Haas had two match points but Murray held his nerve to finally wrap up
the win after nearly three hours, and set up a semi-final clash against
Serbia's Novak Djokovic.
The 12th seed reached the last four with a fairly straightforward 6-3 6-4
win over David Ferrer.
Second seed Rafael Nadal of Spain and third seed Andy Roddick of the
United States will contest the other semi-final on Saturday.
