Third seed Andy Murray made the most of Marin Cilic's errors to reach his first French Open quarter-final on Sunday, clobbering the Croat 7-5 7-6 6-1.

After a tentative start where they traded breaks, the Briton seized the initiative in the 11th game and served out the set when Cilic could not control his return after a searing delivery.

Cilic, who made 40 unforced errors to Murray's 14, got himself into trouble with some poorly controlled forehands and eventually surrendered the second set tiebreak with one that flew wide.

The 20-year-old Croat called the trainer on for treatment on a thigh problem before Murray raced to a 4-0 lead in the third. Serving for the match, the Scot unleashed a powerful shot that was met with yet another wild forehand from Cilic.
