Murray Canters Into Last Eight As Davydenko Comes a Cropper Again

Andy Murray continued his rich vein of form with a 6-4, 6-2 win against Fabrice Santoro in the BNP Paribas Masters and reach the last eight.

Meanwhile, Nikolay Davydenko was at the center of more controversy today after losing 6-2, 6-2 to Marcos Baghdatis. The world No4 was told by chair umpire Cedric Mourier to "try his best" after the official questioned why he was serving so many double faults.

The Russian has endured a miserable time of late after being fined by the ATP for not giving his all in his loss to Marin Cilic in the St Petersburg Open. The ATP is also investigating a match in Poland in August in which Davydenko won the first set 6-1 against Martin Vassallo before retiring with a foot injury, after irregular betting patterns were brought to its attention.

Davydenko looked hopelessly out of sorts from the off against Baghdatis and struggled on serve in particular. The matter came to a head in the second set when Mourier told Davydenko he had served "too many" double faults. He ended up with 10 and was broken five times in the match which lasted just one hour and 13 minutes.

When Davydenko asked the chair umpire, "What can I do?", Mourier replied, "Serve like me."
