Andy Murray stayed on course at the Erst Bank Open in Vienna by battling into the quarter-finals with a 4-6 6-2 6-2 victory against dangerous Frenchman Gilles Simon. The 29-year-old Wimbledon and Olympic champion, who is closing in on Novak Djokovics top ranking, stretched his winning streak to 13 matches and took his season record to 67 wins and just nine losses.But the 2014 champion in Vienna was made to recover from a set down in a marathon match which lasted two hours and 40 minutes as Murray commit an uncharacteristic 58 unforced errors, although Simon was almost as sloppy, hitting just three fewer. Murray and Simon played out an extraordinary 39-shot rally After crumbling when serving to stay in the opening set on a frustratingly slow court, a weary-looking Murray had to save six break points in the second game of the second set before striking in the next game, which lasted an astonishing 14 minutes and 30 seconds.But world No 24 Simon wasnt going away and struck immediately straight back to level at 2-2. The pair traded blows in a 34-shot rally Murray, however, went on to win the next four games to level the match and after the Frenchman received treatment for a blister on his right foot before the start of the deciding set, the British No 1 upped the ante.Despite hanging on for 2-2, Murray repeated the punishment he dished out in the second set to take the match as Simon wilted under increasing pressure.

Sky Sports Black Friday sale Upgrade to Sky Sports now and get 12 months half price! Qualification into the knockout stages was assured with a 3-2 win at Ludogorets a fortnight ago but, having not progressed beyond the round-of-16 for the past six seasons, they are aiming to finish as group winners for the first time since the 2011-12 season. The Champions League trophy has eluded Wenger during his two-decade reign at Arsenal, while an English team has not reached the final since that same 2011-12 campaign, when Chelsea went all the way. Arsenal can secure top spot in Group A if they beat PSG in the Champions League on Wednesday But Wenger believes English clubs are closing in on the likes of Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich. Asked if Premier League clubs were closing the gap, the Frenchman replied: I feel that, yes.Man City winning against Barcelona, we have an opportunity to show it against Paris Saint-Germain.Everywhere you go, the difference in the Champions League, the teams all play football. In the Premier league, even if you have 80 per cent possession, you can still lose the game. The pressure on the Premier League games is today massive in the Premier League. Wengers side drew 1-1 with the French champions in Paris earlier this season I must say that I watched Real Madrid against Atletico Madrid on Saturday and I was impressed by them. They looked at the moment to be the most dangerous side.When asked if Arsenal are in a position to compete for the Champions League this season, Wenger said: I think we are.We want to show that we can beat any style of team. Thats what we have done since the start of the season. Wednesday we play a team with a different style; a team who play possession, slow and quick.dddddddddddd Highlights from Arsenals 1-1 draw with Manchester United We have to show that we can cope with that because they play a lot of possession and then suddenly they play quick with Edinson Cavani, Lucas Moura, they can accelerate a game.We have to show we can deal with that style, a different style to what we are used to. In England, we always play with power.With the likes of Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid both competing in Group D while Borussia Dortmund and holders Real Madrid do battle in Group F, the concept of getting an easier opponent in the last-16 by topping the group and therefore facing a runner-up may be out-dated. Wenger says Manchester Citys win over Barcelona shows English teams can compete with Europes best I feel guilty when we finish second and have a difficult tie, conceded Wenger.Lets finish first and at least we have the advantage to play the second game at home. Hopefully we will be injury free and have everyone available.You want to finish first, knowing that. Is there an actual difference? I dont know. The other groups might look at ours and think: Paris Saint-Germain or Arsenal who is better? I dont know.Upgrade to Sky Sports now and get 12 months half price. Hurry, offer ends December 4!
