Murray rolls on

Olympic champion Andy Murray advanced to the last eight at the US Open while World No. 1 Roger Federer reached his 34th consecutive Grand Slam quarterfinal on Monday without touching a racquet.
British third seed Murray, seeking his first Grand Slam title after four runner-up finishes, defeated Canadian 15th seed Milos Raonic 6-4, 6-4, 6-2 in a night match at Arthur Ashe Stadium.
The 25-year-old Scotsman, who reached his eighth Grand Slam quarterfinal in a row, will play for a semifinal berth against Croatian 12th seed Marin Cilic, who beat Slovakian Martin Klizan 7-5,6-4,6-0.
Murray is 6-1 lifetime against Cilic but the only loss came in the fourth round of the 2009 US Open.
"Tough match. He's a tough player,"
Murray said. "He works extremely hard. He has a solid game. I will have to work extremely hard to beat him."
Top seed Federer, seeking an unprecedented 18th Grand Slam title and record sixth US Open crown, advanced by walkover when American Mardy Fish withdrew from their match over health concerns.
"lam really sorry for Mardy," Federer said. "I just want to wish him a speedy recovery. We all want to see him back on tour soon."
The 31-year-old Swiss star reached a lasteight matchup with Czech sixth seed Tomas Berdych, who dispatched Spanish 11th seed Nicolas Almagro 7-6 (7/4), 6-4, 6-1. Berdych has lost 11 of 15 career meetings to top seed Federer.
Murray broke Raonic with a drop volley winner for a 5-4 lead and held to take the first set after 36 minutes. In the second set, Murray broke for a 3-2 edge when Raonic netted a forehand and held serve from there

Raonic, trying to become the first Canadian man in a Grand Slam last eight in the Open era, surrendered breaks in the third and fifth games of the final set.
Murray, who never faced a break point, held serve to end matters after two hours with a service winner.
Fish, 30, missed two months earlier this year with a heart problem after his heart rate increased to three times its normal resting pace. He underwent a cardiac catheter ablation in Los Angeles on May 23 to treat his condition.
But his statement about the withdrawal did not specify a reason.
