Andy Murray produced one of his best performances since hip surgery to defeat top seed Jannik Sinner at the Stockholm Open.

He will now progress to the quarter-finals.

Murray had lost a succession of close matches to top 20 players before defeating then world number 10 Hubert Hurkacz in Vienna a fortnight ago.

Italian Sinner is the same ranking and one of the hottest young prospects in the game but Murray produced a clean and impressive display, breaking his 20-year-old opponent twice in the second set on the way to a 7-6 (4) 6-3 triumph.
