Tokyo, Oct 8: Defending champion Rafael Nadal picked apart American number one Mardy Fish's serve-and-volley game on Saturday to set up a hotly anticipated final against Andy Murray at the Japan Open.
The world number two from Spain, playing his first ATP tournament since defeat in the US Open final last month, relied on his powerful baseline game to score a 7-5, 6-1 victory.
Second seeded Murray, fresh from victory at the Thailand Open a week ago, breezed by 2007 champion David Ferrer 6-2, 6-3.
"I hope that I can play a fantastic match (tomorrow)," Nadal said after his victory.
