BERLIN (Reuters) - World number three Andy Murray remained on course for a first claycourt title after he reached the Munich Open final with a 6-4 6-4 victory over Spain's Roberto Bautista-Agut on Saturday.

The 27-year-old Scot, who earlier in the day came from a set down to beat Czech Lukas Rosol 4-6 6-3 6-2 after Friday's quarter-final was postponed due to rain, will play the winner of the second semi between Germany's Philipp Kohlschreiber and Austria's Gerald Melzer.
