LONDON [url=http://www.teambrewersshop.com/brewers-lorenzo-cain-jersey/]Lorenzo Cain Jersey[/url] , June 30 (Xinhua) -- Defending champion Andy Murray advanced to the quarterfinals after defeating Kevin Anderson on Monday and will face rising star Grigor Dimitrov of Bulgaria in first real test at Wimbledon. Finishing under a closed Centre Court roof, the Scot swept past Anderson from South Africa 6-4, 6-3, 7-6 (7-6) to make it into last eight for the seventh year in a row. Murray has a 3-1 winloss over Dimitrov heading into their dual. It was the Bulgarian who won their most recent encounter, on hard court in the Acapulco semifinals earlier this year. "Now he's starting to come into his prime," said Murray of Dimitrov. "He's won a lot of matches this year. He's a tough player. It will be a hard match for me. It's a big opportunity for him, as well, playing on the Centre Court at Wimbledon for the first time. It's a great opportunity for him. Hopefully we can play a good match." The third-seeded Murray is yet to drop a set in four matches at the All England Club. Against Anderson, who was playing on Centre Court for the first time, Murray raced to a 6-4, 3-0 double break lead before the rain came, forcing the players back to the locker room for 27 minutes while the roof was closed. At the resumption, Anderson came out more aggressive and made life difficult for Murray, who was forced to save a set point in the tie-break before sealing victory in two hours and 32 minutes. "When it was outdoors, I played well and was in a good position," Murray said. "When we came back indoors, he started to strike the ball better, he was serving better and I was dropping the ball shorter than I had done. I had more running to do at the end and I got a bit tentative. It was a good win for me; he made it tough." The 27-year-old Murray ended Britain's 77-year wait for a homegrown male Wimbledon champion last year as he beat Novak Djokovic in the final to lift his second Grand Slam trophy. Serbia's top seed Djokovic also had an easy time of it as he defeated Jo-Wilfried Tsonga of France for the 11th match in a row on the same matchday. The Serbian master needed just one hour and 51 minutes minutes to advance at 6-3, 6-4, 7-6(7-5). Djokovic has not lost to Tsonga since the 2010 Australian Open quarterfinals and improved to a 13-5 winloss record against the Frenchman. "Tsonga is a top player," said Djokovic. "I was very happy with my consistency today, mental consistency, and variety in my game. I played very well from back of the court." For a place in the Wimbledon last four, Djokovic will challenge Marin Cilic, whom he has not lost to in nine previous meetings. by Keren Setton JERUSALEM， Jan. 31 (Xinhua) -- Days after U.S. President Donald Trump was inaugurated， the Israeli government announced its plans to build an additional 2，500 homes for Jewish settlers in the West Bank. In the past， such an announcement immediately resulted in an American condemnation. This time it was smooth sailing for the Israeli government. It was a farewell message from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to former U.S. President Barack Obama. The two often clashed on the issue which put a strain on their relationship. At the time of the announcement， Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman said Israel "was resuming normal life in Judea and Samaria (the bibilical name of the West Bank)." The right wing government in Israel felt restricted during the years of the Obama administration. Although settlement building continued， it was not at a satisfactory pace for Netanyahu and his allies. Israel's construction plans did lead to a Palestinian outcry. Their fear， together with the majority of the international community， is that the more Israel tighten's its grip on the West Bank， the hopes for them achieving a state become dimmer. Palestinians see the West Bank as a critical part of their future state. Israeli settlements in the West Bank have been a contentious topic since Israeli forces captured the West Bank during the 1967 Mideast War. Once under its rule， Israel immediately started settling the area with Jewish citizens. However， it never officially annexed the land， aside from East Jerusalem. In the West Bank， which Israelis often refer to by its biblical name Judea and Samaria， there are approximately 385，000 Jewish settlers， nearly tripple the figure for 1993 when the Oslo Accords were signed. Palestinians see the territories as part of their future state and the settlements which have been expanding annually since 1967 are a major stumbling block for them. The international community is at odds with Israel on the issue， leaving the country largely isolated in the international arena. Only recently did the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) passed a resolution condemning Israel， saying settlements are illegal. Anat Ben Nun is the Director of Development and External Relations at Peace Now which is an Israeli organization aimed at promoting a two-state solution between Israelis and Palestinians and functions as a settlement watch-dog， monitoring their evolution on the ground. She explains the legal standing of the territories， as many in the international community see it. "According to the Geneva conventions and the Hague regulations， an occupying power cannot transfer its own population to the occupied territory and this is exactly what Israel has been doing since 1967. Israel did not really decide on what to do with these territories. On the one hand it did not annex them and give citizenship to everyone who lives in these areas. On the other hand， it sent its own population to go and live in these areas，" Ben Nun explains. Israel claims it has a biblical right to the land but also a security need. Israeli presence in the West Bank is believed by many in the country to safeguard it from Palestinian attempts to attack it. .
