Antwerp: Andy Murray stayed on course for his first ATP Tour title since 2017 by beating Ugo Humbert in three tough sets at the European Open in Antwerp.
Murray was forced to call on all his reserves at times against a French opponent 11 years his junior before prevailing 3-6, 7-5, 6-2 in just over two-and-a-half hours.
The three-time grand slam champion, still on the road to full recovery following career-saving hip surgery in January, now faces old foe Stan Wawrinka in Sunday's final in what will be his fourth match in as many days.
Murray's clash with Humbert, 21, was his first semi-final since the 2017 French Open, when he lost to Wawrinka.
