Andy Murray to face Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in Erste Bank Open final





World number two; Andy Murray is through to the final of the Erste Bank Open in Vienna after Spain's David Ferrer pulled out with a leg injury.

The Briton, 29, will face France's Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, who beat Croatian Ivo Karlovic 5-7 7-5 7-6 (8-6), on Sunday.
Murray has won 13 of his 15 matches against Tsonga, including a last-16 victory in their most recent meeting at Wimbledon in July.

Murray will take possession from Novak Djokovic as number one with titles in Vienna and at next week's Paris Masters, if Djokovic does not reach the final in Paris.

Tsonga came from a set and 4-2 down in the second set to beat Karlovic, saving a match point in the tie-break as he reached his first World Tour final of the year.
