Andy Murray has admitted that he feels fortunate to have progressed past Feliciano Lopez at the Mubadala World Tennis Championship.
The world number six overcame Lopez by a 7-6 5-7 6-4 scoreline but the match, which lasted two hours 29 minutes, was far from straightforward and the Scot has revealed that he was content to have sealed a place in the last four.
After the match, the 27-year-old said: "Lopez had break points and I had a lot of match points so I'm happy just to get through."
Murray will be back in action on Friday afternoon when he will play Rafael Nadal for a place in the final of the exhibition tournament in Abu Dhabi.
