Murray brothers into last eight

Andy and Jamie Murray booked their place in the quarter-finals of the Japan Open on Tuesday.

The brothers battled for a three-set victory in their first-round doubles clash against Pablo Andujar and Milos Raonic.

The British pair spurned a match-point chance on their own serve in the second set before going on to lose on the tie-breaker, but hit back in the decider to register a 7-5 6-7 (2/7) 10-6 win.

Their opponents in the last eight will be Japanese wild cards Tatsuma Ito and Kei Nishikori, who upset third seeds Christopher Kas and Alexander Peya in three sets.
