Andy Murray came past Canada’s Milos Raonic 6-3, 7-5 on Tuesday at the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals to keep his hopes of reaching the semi-finals alive.
What does this mean for Murray? Is he in the semi-finals?
Well it depends. If Raonic beats Nishikori and Murray beats Roger Federer (who he plays on Thursday) then he is through. If Murray loses and Nishikori wins, he is out, but if Raonic wins it will come down to sets and games lost. Simples.
When does Murray play next?
On Thursday against Federer at 8pm. View the schedule.
What were the key stats of the match?
