Murray ousts Ljubicic to reach Wimbledon last 16

　　WIMBLEDON, England, June 24 (Xinhua) -- Fourth seed Andy Murray advanced into the last 16 at Wimbledon on Friday at the cost of Croatian Ivan Ljubicic in 6-4, 4-6, 6-1, 7-6 (7/4).
The British top player will face French 17th seed Richard Gasquet on Monday for a place in the quarterfinals.
The 24-year-old, looking to become the first British men's champion since Fred Perry in 1936, was broken first at the first set, trailing¹ 3-4, but he took the next three games to claim the opener.
The Croatian, bidding² to reach the last 16 for the first time, was comfortably on top in the second before Murray enjoyed a double break in a one-sided third set.
Murray broke to lead 3-2 in the fourth set and his confidence³ was so high at this stage that he even won a point with a cheeky between the legs shot⁴ at the net in the seventh game.
But Ljubicic rallied⁵ from 2-4 down to lead 6-5 before Murray played the smoother tie-breaker.
Gasquet was two sets to love ahead of Murray in their fourth round meeting at Wimbledon in 2008 before the Scot rallied to win.（本文由在线英语听力室整理编辑）
