Neither player was able to gain an early advantage in a first set that did not feature a single break point.

The tie-breaker then carried on in a similar vein until Murray was able to take a 6-4 advantage on an unforced error from Delbonis, which the Argentinian followed up with a double fault.

The three-time grand slam champion went up an immediate break in the second and never looked like losing from there and his win set up a meeting with the Australian Open runner-up.

“Obviously a tough match,” he said. “He’s played extremely well on the hard courts the last few seasons. He deserves to be right up there at the top of the game.
