London, Oct 31 - Britain number one Andy Murray recorded a straight sets win over Wimbledon champion Grigor Dimitrov at the Paris Masters to book his place at the ATP World Tour Finals.

Murray, who lost in straight sets at Wimbledon , beat the Bulgarian 6-3, 6-3 to reach the quarterfinals. He is seeking to win his fourth title in six weeks and also required to reach the last eight to qualify for the season-ending finals in London.

The Scot would next face world number one Novak Djokovic, who needed a second-set tie-break for a 6-3, 7-6 (7-2) win over Gael Monfils, in the last eight on Friday, The BBC reported.

Djokovic took 92 minutes to beat Monfils, but by contrast, world number eight Murray was in such good form he saw off Dimitrov in 69 minutes, two minutes faster than his second-round win over Julien Benneteau, to secure his 20th win in 22 matches.

Murray said that he was pleased with his fitness and conditioning after playing in Shenzhen, Beijing, Shanghai, Vienna, Valencia and now Paris in successive weeks.

He said that it's been such a long few weeks but added that he still feels pretty good when he gets up in the mornings.

Murray joins Djokovic, Roger Federer, Stan Wawrinka and Marin Cilic in reaching next month's event at the 02 Arena, with three places still to be decided.

Kei Nishikori, the sixth seed, is one match away from becoming the first Japanese player to reach the finals after his 6-1, 4-6, 6-4 defeat of home favourite Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.

Nishikori would next play fourth seed David Ferrer, who will be guaranteed a place at the O2 if he makes the final in Paris, in the last eight after the Spaniard's 6-1, 6-2 win over compatriot Fernando Verdasco.

Fifth seed Tomas Berdych, who is eighth in the Race to London standings, would guarantee his place at the season finale by making the semifinals this week after beating Feliciano Lopez 7-5, 6-3. He faces South Africa's Kevin Anderson, who beat third seed Wawrinka 6-7 (2-7), 7-5, 7-6 (7-3), in the last eight.

Canada's Milos Raonic needs to win the title in Paris to reach the finals and the seventh seed saw off Roberto Bautista Agut 7-5, 7-6 (9-7) to keep his hopes alive, the report added. (ANI)
