PARIS — Andy Murray is in the French Open quarterfinals for the first time.

The third-seeded Murray beat No. 13 Marin Cilic of Croatia 7-5, 7-6 (4), 6-1 on Sunday, giving the Briton the first four-match winning streak on clay in his career.

Cilic was treated by a trainer for right leg problems in the third set after taking a tumble while chasing a lob.

But Murray was better throughout the match. He will play No. 12 Fernando Gonzalez of Chile for a semifinal berth.
