Defending US Open champion Andy Murray beat Uzbekistan's Denis Istomin to set up a quarter-final against Stanislas Waw-rinka on Thursday.

The Briton was irritated by a number of bad line calls and struggled for consistency on a windy evening, but was not seriously threatened in a 6-7 6-1 6-4 6-4 win. Murray, 26, was given prime-time billing on and duly delivered the expected victory to reach his 17th Grand Slam quarter-final. He will next face ninth seed Wawrinka on Thursday after the Swiss upset fifth seed Tomas Berdych 3-6 6-1 7-6 6-2 on Louis Armstrong Stadium.
