VIENNA -- Top-seeded Andy Murray overcame a slow start against Gilles Simon of France before winning 4-6, 6-2, 6-2 and advancing to his 13th quarterfinal of the season at the Erste Bank Open on Thursday. Yohan Cabaye France Jersey .The Scot, who improved to 16-2 against Simon in their career matches, clinched his 12th straight win of the season after taking back-to-back titles in Beijing and at the Shanghai Masters, where he beat Simon in the semifinals.He moves extremely well so its hard to finish the points, Murray said after winning in two hours, 41 minutes, adding that Simons playing style makes the rallies last longer than against other opponents.He doesnt give you too much pace so you have to generate a lot of the pace yourself, said Murray, who is a three-time Grand Slam champion. Sometimes you feel the better you play, the better he plays. The harder you hit the ball, the faster it comes back.Murray broke Simon in the opening game of the match, but then struggled for rhythm as he dropped his first two service games.The second-ranked Scot broke back when Simon missed a set point and failed to serve out the set at 5-3, but then lost his own serve for a third time.Murray held off six break points early in the second set and finally looked to settle when he reeled off four straight games to level the match. From 2-2 in the final set, he did the same to close out the match.Murray, who is 11-1 in quarterfinals this season, takes on John Isner for a place in Saturdays semifinals.Earlier, Viktor Troicki advanced to his seventh quarterfinal of the season by defeating third-seeded Dominic Thiem 6-2, 7-5.Troicki, from Serbia, held serve throughout against the ninth-ranked Austrian but needed to save seven break points in the second set.The 28th-ranked Troicki will next play fifth-seeded David Ferrer of Spain, who is the defending champion. He defeated Portugals Joao Sousa 6-2, 7-6 (4).Also, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga came back from 5-3 behind and saved a set point against Germanys Philipp Kohlschreiber in the opening set on his way to a 7-6 (6), 6-2 win.
