Great Britain's Andy Murray roared into his seventh successive final with a commanding victory over Canadian Milos Raonic at the Western & Southern Open in Cincinnati on Saturday Aug 20,2016
Olympic champion Murray, who beat Raonic in the Wimbledon final, notched his career-best 22nd consecutive win by blunting the fourth-seeded Canadian's intimidating service game in a 6-3, 6-3 semi-final victory.
Andy Murray will face 2014 US Open champion Marin Cilic of Croatia in the final.
Croatia's Marin Cilic overcame Grigor Dimitrov of Bulgaria 4-6 6-3 7-5, coming back twice from a break down in the third set in a match that ended past 1:30 AM ET (0530 GMT) following a two-hour rain delay after play was stopped in the second game.
Andy Murray has won 11 of 13 matches against 12th seed Marin Cilic.
Defending Champions
Roger Federer(Swiss)and Serena Williams(USA)were the defending champions, but neither of them defended their titles. They withdrew due to a knee injury and shoulder inflammation, respectively.
