Manic Monday was anything but for the highest remaining seed in the men’s singles draw. Andy Murray calmly picked apart the youthful and maddeningly exuberant Nick Kyrgios, getting a leg up early and basically letting the young Aussie implode while watching intently from his side of the court.

Murray’s 7-5, 6-1, 6-4 victory is his 50th career victory at Wimbledon, which moves him past Goran Ivanisevic and Stefan Edberg and into eighth on the all-time list for men.

The rising Aussie was neck-and-neck with Murray in the early going, but Murray cracked the door open with a 12th-game break in the first set to claim the opener.

He barged into Kyrgios’ kitchen shortly after that.

A big part of the reason that Kyrgios imploded was due to Murray, who was pitch-perfect on Centre Court, the place that the Aussie had labeled as Murray’s “back yard,” on Sunday. He struck 24 winners against just two unforced errors in the final two sets and did not face a single break point all afternoon.

"The first set was very tight. I managed to get the break at 6-5 but it was tight up to that point," Murray told the BBC after the match. "The second set was much more comfortable, Nick lost his focus a bit. I was able to dictate a lot of the rallies."

Murray joins John McEnroe and Pete Sampras in having reached nine Wimbledon quarterfinals consecutively.

He will face France’s Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the quarterfinals. The World No. 2 holds a 12-2 lifetime record against Tsonga and has won the last three matches against him and all five on grass.

Raonic, Comeback Kid

Canada’s Milos Raonic looked to be down and out on No.2 Court on Monday, trailing two sets to love to David Goffin in their round of 16 tilt, but the Canadian rallied, breaking the Belgian once in each of the final three sets to secure a 4-6, 3-6, 6-4,6-4, 6-4 victory, his first comeback from two sets down in his career.

“It's the first time for me and probably the most significant situation for me to come back from two sets to love down,” Raonic said. “I definitely felt good about that. Hopefully a nice pivotal match for me.”

Two Retirements on Manic Monday

We are trying to confirm, but we are hearing that today was the first time that Wimbledon has seen two round of 16 retirements on the men’s side in the Open Era. Don’t quote us on that, just know that it was a bit of bummer.

Kei Nishikori retired down 6-1, 5-1 to Marin Cilic, while Richard Gasquet retired down 4-2 to Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.

“It started in Halle,” Nishikori said of his rib/abdomen injury. “It's the same injury that I had it in first match in Halle. It's been not recovering well these two weeks.”

Gasquet was forced out with a back problem. “I have back problem,” he told reporters after pulling out against Tsonga in the first set. “I felt it yesterday playing against Ramos at the end of the match. This morning I tried to warm up, it was okay. Then during my match, I felt something wrong and I couldn't move after that.”
