Overview

Murray is one of the favourites to win the tournament as he bids to keep his hope of grabbing the world No 1 spot alive. He needs to win this tournament and also win the next week's Paris Masters and also hope that Novak Djokovic fails to make it to the semi-final.

In the quarter-final clash of the Vienna Open, the 29-year-old defeated John Isner to make it to the last four. He had no trouble in beating the American as he sealed a comfortable straight set, 6-1, 6-3.

Murray will be hoping to continue his impressive run in the semi-final clash in order to progress to the final. However, he takes on Ferrer, who is the defending champion of the Vienna Open.

The Spaniard defeated Viktor Troicki in the quarter-final clash. After winning the first set 6-3, he lost the second one by the same scoreline. However, he bounced back as Ferrer sealed the match by winning the third and the final set 7-5.

In the last 10 meetings between the pair, Ferrer has managed to beat Murray only once, which came during the Round of 16 clash in Shanghai Masters in 2014. The scoreline was 2-6 6-1 6-2.
