After a brief rain delay the Scot double-faulted to hand the crucial break in the first set to the Latvian, but a delightful Murray drop shot gave him a break as he won the second 6-1.

He hurt his groin in the decider, but battled on to win 5-7 6-1 6-4 and book a last-eight clash with Andy Roddick.

"It's the first time on a tennis court I've been worried about getting through uninjured," Murray said after losing his footing several times on centre court.

"It was so slippy, I was sliding two metres after each shot so I was just happy to come through in the end."

Play was suspended for 20 minutes in the first set as rain threatened but it was in the 11th game where Murray injured his right thumb and lost his serve for the only time in the match.

After receiving treatment he was able to carry on and levelled the contest at one set all, only to then injure his groin in the opening game of the deciding set.

"The thumb is the worst part and my neck is a bit sore as well," Murray added. "My groin is okay. It felt really sore at first, I was changing direction and my foot slid from underneath me but the physio came on and did a good job.

"I don't know how it will pull up tomorrow but I am in a bit of pain."
