Andy Murray booked himself a place in the final of the Madrid Open with a 6-3 6-4 victory over Japanese star Kei Nishikori on Saturday.
It took the second seed 1 hour and 37 minutes to win the game.
"I think today I was pretty aggressive. Tried to dictate a lot of the points, especially when he was serving and it worked well."
Awaiting Murray in the final is Rafael Nadal, who overcame Tomas Berdych 7-6, 6-1 earlier in the day.
The 2008 champion says he will give all he's got to make it.
"I know if I need to win tomorrow, or if I want to win tomorrow I'm going to have to play extremely well and hit the ball as clean as I did today. Against Rafa on this surface it's tough because of the spin he puts on the ball."
It is Nadal's seventh appearance in the final and he is chasing his third consecutive Madrid title.
