TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Andy Murray won a gruelling late-night contest with Grigor Dimitrov to reach his sixth consecutive Australian Open quarter-final, BBC Sport reported.
The British number one came through 6-4 6-7 (5-7) 6-3 7-5 in three hours and 32 minutes.
A fifth set had looked likely but Murray won the last five games in row, sealing victory with a forehand that clipped the net and dropped over.
He goes through to face Australia's Nick Kyrgios in the last eight.
Murray will be playing in his 16th consecutive Grand Slam quarter-final, having lost to Dimitrov at the same stage at Wimbledon last year.
Kyrgios made his first and only major quarter-final to date at the same tournament after a stunning win over Rafael Nadal.
The 19-year-old won a five-set thriller against Andreas Seppi on Sunday that dominated Melbourne Park to such an extent that the cheering from Hisense Arena could be heard on Rod Laver Arena.
