Andy Murray reached his first final since winning Wimbledon last year after battling past Juan Monaco 2-6 6-3 6-0 at the ATP Shenzhen Open in China.
Murray, who is ranked 11th in the world, also boosted his bid to qualify for November's ATP World Tour Finals and will now take on Spain's Tommy Robredo in Sunday's final.
The Scot needs to pick up points to make the season's finale in London in which the top eight players compete and he reached his first ATP final of the year following a rather disjointed display.
After losing the opening set Murray fought back in brutal conditions.to win nine games in a row and defeat a disheartened world No 97 Monaco from Argentina.
The second seed will now be aiming to secure his 29th career title when he goes up against fourth seed Robredo who beat Santiago Giraldo 6-1 6-4 in the other semi-final.
