Top-seeded Andy Murray rallied to beat Lukas Rosol 4-6, 6-3, 6-2 Saturday in their rain-postponed BMW Open quarterfinal.

Murray converted five of his 14 break opportunities and served five aces against the Czech to set up a semifinal later Saturday against Roberto Bautista Agut.

The third-seeded Spaniard defeated Victor Estrella Burgos of the Dominican Republic 4-6, 6-0, 6-0.

The quarterfinals were washed out by rain on Friday, forcing Murray - who has never won a title on clay - to play three matches Saturday. The Scot also has a doubles semifinal with Jean-Julien Rojer against Alexander Peya and Bruno Soares.

In the other quarterfinals later, two-time former champion Philipp Kohlschreiber played David Goffin and Dominic Thiem faced Gerald Melzer.
