The German never appeared to be under much pressure, and made no errors, looking solid at the baseline to deny Norrie a second ATP tour final.

Zverev said: "It was very tough. It was pretty windy out here, not easy conditions, and his game actually I think fits the wind quite well, so it was not easy.

"I'm just happy to be through. At this stage, you've got to win matches, no matter how. I'm just happy to be in the final."

Zverev will face Kyrgios in the final, who beat John Isner 7-5 5-7 7-6(7).
