MURRAY "THE ALL TIME FAVOURITE ENTERS QUARTER"

Andy Murray passed to the quarterfinals after a long fight against Marin Cilic 7-5, 7-6 (7-4), 6-1 and reach his last eight for the first time. From the start both the contenders were fighting hard and each of them broke in their first game of their first set. Finally Murray wins a thriller in tie-breaker. The first set was a tale of two in-form players exchanging blows but Murray broke at 5-5 before serving out. Murray took the second set on a tie-break after breaks were exchanged and the third seed stormed past a deflated Cilic in the third to wrap up victory. Gonzalez, the 12th seed from Chile, claimed an emphatic 6-2 6-4 6-2 win against Victor Hanescu. The pair have played twice previously - Gonzalez triumphed in Basel in 2005 and Murray in New York in 2006 - but never on clay. Murray will definitely win against Gonzalez in the quarter finals.

RAFEAL NADAL IS ALL SET FOR FIFTH TITLE IN BARCELONA

Rafeal Nadal will face Davis ferrer in the finals on sunday. Nadal won against the Davydenko 6-3,6-2. It was a very easy match match said Nadal. He like this past year as he was started good in the clay court and he will continue to do it again and again. He won his 24 clay court match consecutively. He is the "king in clay". Nadal feels that he can win the title this time too as the match on sunday is just a repeat of last season. Ferrer is a good player and he needs to work very hard to win against Rafeal Nadal. Nadal has not dropped his serve in the tournament and saved all six of Davydenko's break points in windy conditions. Ferrer rallied to defeat Fernando Gonzalez 2-6, 6-2, 7-6 (5) in Saturday's semifinals.
