Andy Murray knocks out Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the Queen's semi-final and will face Marin Cilic in the final.

Britain's Andy Murray is into the Queen's final with a 4-6 6-3 6-2 win over Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in Saturday's semi-final.

Murray had a close escape in the fifth game, surviving three break points, but he lost his final service game of the set which put Tsonga one to the good.

The Brit responded well and was more comfortable on serve in the second set until the seventh game. He managed to fend off two break points before fighting back to claim one of his own and serve out the set.

In the third it was Murray who was the stronger player. He battled to an early break with his seventh break point of the game and then powered his way to a 6-2 win in the set.

Murray's win sets up a final with last year's champion Marin Cilic, who beat Lleyton Hewitt.
