Andy Murray reached the Nottingham Open quarter-finals with a 6-3 7-5 victory over France’s Hugo Grenier to cap a record-breaking day for British tennis.
Murray’s win came after Katie Boulter, Harriet Dart and Jodie Burrage joined Heather Watson in the women’s last eight – the first time four British women have reached the quarter-finals of the same WTA Tour event.
Burrage’s 7-5 6-3 victory over world number 21 and Australian Open semi-finalist Magda Linette was arguably the standout result.
“When we are all doing well it really pushes everyone on,” said world number 131 Burrage. “It is a bit daunting going on after the other two [Boulter and Dart] won, it was a little bit of pressure.
“But in the same breath it did help as well, but when you’re out on court you’re just wanting to win.”
In her first WTA quarter-final, the 24-year-old will face Poland’s Magdalena Frech in the opening match on Centre Court at 11:00 BST on Friday.

Watson, who booked her quarter-final spot on Wednesday, takes on Switzerland’s Viktorija Golubic in the third match on Centre.

Boulter squandered seven break points in the first set but was persistent and went on to capitalise on Snigur’s hampered movement, due to a knee injury she received treatment for midway through the second set.
“It was an absolute battle, I’m really proud of myself,” said Boulter.
“I put my heart on the line and played as well as I could. A couple of those games were ridiculous. It was so tough.”
Dart secured a 6-0 7-5 win over Ukrainian fifth seed Anhelina Kalinina to ensure her spot in the last eight.
The 26-year-old dominated the first set and did not drop a single game as Kalinina, number 25 in the world, struggled to get going.
But after Dart received treatment to what seemed like a lower-back strain, she was made to work for the second, going a…
