(Reuters) - Olympic champion Andy Murray restored some order at the Western & Southern Open by cutting down South African giant Kevin Anderson to reach the quarter-finals on an upset-filled Thursday in Cincinnati.

Rafa Nadal and Stan Wawrinka, two of the other headliners at the U.S. Open warm-up event, fell to a pair of young guns on a hot and steamy day on the Ohio hardcourts.
