In the first quarter-final on Pat Rafter Arena, top seed and World No. 4 Andy Murray looks to even his career mark (2-3) against unseeded Marcos Baghdatis of Cyprus. They played a doubles quarter-final together on Thursday, losing a 15-13 Match Tie-break to No. 2 seeds and US Open champions Melzer-Petzschner. Both players have taken a different route to the quarter-finals with Murray losing the opening set in both of his early rounds while aghdatis has yet to drop a set. Murray has been runner-up the past two years at the Australian Open and Baghdatis was a finalist in 2006. They split last year’s two meetings with Baghdatis winning in straight sets in the first round of Rotterdam in February before Murray prevailed in three sets in the first round of Tokyo in October (en route to the title). Murray is coming off his fourth consecutive No. 4 finish last season and five ATP World Tour titles, which was second to Novak Djokovic (10). Baghdatis is coming off his fifth Top 50 finish (at No. 44) in the past six years and his best result was a runner-up in Kuala Lumpur (l. to Tipsarevic), his 11th career final. Baghdatis has compiled some of his best results Down Under, reaching his first Grand Slam final at the Australian Open in 2006 (l. to Federer) and winning his last ATP World Tour title in Sydney two years ago. This is his second straight quarter-final in Brisbane (l. to Roddick).

In the next quarter-final, No. 8 seed Bernard Tomic looks to reach his first career ATP World Tour semi-final as he takes on Denis Istomin of Uzbekistan for the first time. Tomic, who is the top Australian ranked No. 42 at 19 years, 2 months, is the youngest player in the Top 50 South African Airways ATP Rankings. Istomin, the top player from Uzbekistan, comes in ranked No. 73. Two years ago he finished a year-end best No. 40 and reached his first ATP World Tour final in New Haven (l. to Stakhovsky). The 25-year-old Moscow resident has not completed a match this week. He was up a set and trailed 2-3 in the second set of his first round match against No. 4 seed Florian Mayer, who retired with a groin injury. In the second round, Tommy Haas withdrew due to a calf injury, giving Istomin a walkover into the quarter-finals. Tomic enjoyed a breakthrough campaign in 2011, reaching his first Grand Slam quarter-final at Wimbledon (as a qualifier) and posting a pair of Top 10 wins (d. No. 5 Soderling, No. 9 Fish). Last year he came into Brisbane ranked No. 208.
