Murray reaches final in Brisbane

Britain's Andy Murray eased into the final of the Brisbane International after Kei Nishikori retired from their semi-final with a left knee injury. World number three and top seed Murray recovered from a break down to win the first set 6-4 with five straight games. He was 2-0 up in the second when Japan's Nishikori, 23, pulled out. Murray, 25, will meet Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov, who beat Marcos Baghdatis of Cyprus 6-3 5-7 7-6 (7-5) in the other semi-final, in Sunday's final. &qu;I have no idea whether he'll be nervous or he'll enjoy the occasion - we'll find out tomorrow," said Olympic and US Open champion Murray, who beat Dimitrov in their only previous meeting, in the Thailand Open in 2011.
