Andy Murray is through to his first Masters Series final after beating big serving Ivo Karlovic 6-4 6-4.

Karlovic made the better start by going a break up at the start of the match. For the rest of the set though it was all Murray, comfortably breaking the Croats serve twice.

The theme continued in the second set with the Scot going 3-1 up. A slack game from Murray at 3-3 let Karlovic back into the set. The doors was slammed firmly shut when Murray reeled off three straight games to claim the match.
That was a superb, mature and exceptional performance - Boogers.

When asked immediately after that match who he'd like to play in the final, he responded:

Nadal. He's the number one in the world now, and I've never beaten him before. I think I can do it.
I felt like I was hitting the ball great today. I see his serve pretty well and it comes through to me at quite a nice height. He likes the quick points, but when you can makes a lot of returns it disrupts him.
Andy Murray, who is now unofficially 6th in the world, will play Novak Djokovic in the final.
