Former winner Andy Murray and third seed David Ferrer will meet in the final of the Miami Masters after both rallied from opening set losses Friday to win their semifinals in three sets.
Last year's runner-up Murray lost the opening set in a tiebreaker before beating Frenchman Richard Gasquet 6-7 (3/7), 6-1, 6-2 while Spaniard Ferrer ended German veteran Tommy Haas's giant-killing run 4-6, 6-2, 6-3.
Murray, the 2009 champion, dropped his first set of the tournament by losing the opening-set tiebreak to eighth seed Gasquet, but quickly made amends and dominated the final two sets to reach his third Miami final.
Murray, who is the lone British champion in the history of the Miami event, has beaten Ferrer in six out of 11 career matches, winning five of the last seven.
Ferrer has only beaten Murray once on a non-clay surface and that was at the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals in 2011.
"It is going to be a tough match. He is an unbelievable competitor," Murray said. "We train a lot together so we know each other's games well so there should be a lot of long rallies."
