Rampant Robin Soderling moved into the semi-finals of the BNP Paribas Open with a convincing victory over an out-of-sorts Andy Murray,
Murray never got going against the sixth seed and two costly breaks in the opening set put Soderling firmly in the driving seat.
The Scot rallied briefly in the second set to force a tie-breaker but Soderling had enough in the tank to close out a 6-1 7-6 (7/4) win in one hour and 34 minutes.
Soderling will face Andy Roddick in the semi-finals.
"I think he played very well to start with, and I didn't," said Murray.
"I didn't move particularly well. I was hitting the ball really short, and he's obviously got a big game and he was able to dictate all of the points.
"So from my side it was poor, but he hit the ball really big from the back of the court and served well when he needed to."

Actually Murray, what you should have said is 'I am rubbish'
