The Scot takes on hard-hitting Czech Jiri Lehecka for a place in the final in Doha after coming from a set down to win his quarter-final against Alexandre Muller on Thursday.

Murray has gone the distance in all of his three matches at the tournament thus far, playing some of his best tennis along the way. He started by claiming a first round win over Lorenzo Sonego on Monday after saving three match points and edging a final-set tie-break. He then needed three sets and over three hours to overcome fourth seed Alexander Zverev in a gruelling second round encounter on Wednesday.
