Murray had a great start and led 5: 2, before losing the first set, after which there was a tough fight in the second set against Richard Gasquet, before he won with 5: 7/7: 6 (3) / 6 0 / 6: 2. Third seed Wawrinka relatively easy beat the Spaniard Albert Ramos-Vinolas with 6: 2/6: 1/7: 6 (7).
Murray now has a string of 10 wins after last month he won the Italian Open and for the fourth time he is in the semifinals in French Open. Due to rain, the quarter-final between Novak Djokovic and Tomas Berdych as well as the one between David Goffin and Dominic Thiem will be played on Thursday.
