World number two Andy Murray is through to the final of the Erste Bank Open in Vienna after Spain's David Ferrer pulled out with a leg injury.
The Briton, 29, will face Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga or Croatia's Ivo Karlovic in Sunday's final.
Murray will usurp Novak Djokovic as number one with titles in Vienna and at next week's Paris Masters, if Djokovic does not reach the final in Paris.
