Murray reaches first Italian Open final

British number one Andy Murray reached his first Italian Open final with a straight-set victory over unseeded Frenchman Lucas Pouille.

Murray, seeded second, won 6-2 6-1 in a rain-interrupted semi-final at Rome's Foro Italico.

The Scot, who will be 29 on Sunday, broke serve four times as he won in 59 minutes.

Murray will next face either Novak Djokovic, who beat him in last week's Madrid Open final, or Kei Nishikori.
