Andy Murray progressed through to his fourth final at the Queen's club after a 6-3 7-6 victory in his rain-delayed semi-final against Viktor Troicki.

Murray’s quest for a fourth title at Queen’s will continue as he takes on South Africa's Kevin Anderson in the showpiece match later this afternoon.

The match resumed at 3-3 in the opening set after rain intervened on Saturday evening with the former Wimbledon champion having to play two matches in one day on Sunday as a result.

Murray started the day very brightly and raced through the final three games of the opening set after play got back under way, but Troicki responded after his slow start.

Hoping for a swift victory, Murray was held up when Troicki, who had hurt his shoulder following an awkward fall on Saturday, broke him to lead 4-2 in the second set.

But the Brit broke back to level at 4-4 as Troicki was unable to make his initial advantage count.

The Serb pushed the British number one all the way in the second set but was unable to push the match into a decider as Murray took the tie-break 7-4.

Anderson, who has served a staggering 96 aces so far at the London grass-court tournament, will likely pose a real threat for Murray in the final.

The Scot will be aiming for his fourth title at Queen's after winning the tournament in 2009, 2011 and 2013.
