The top seed looked to be comfortably on course after winning the first set 6-2 against Gilles Simon.

But the Frenchman fought back to win the second set 6-3.

However the Scot broke early in the third set, and went on to win the decider 6-2 to book a place in the final against Donald Young.

Elsewhere ninth seed Agnieszka Radwanska saw off Vera Zvonareva 6-3 6-2 to win the Toray Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo today.

The Pole lost the first two game, but then won eight of the next nine to lay the foundations for her victory over the fourth seed.
