MARSEILLE, France — Fourth-seeded Andy Murray cruised past Paul-Henri Mathieu of France 6-2, 6-2 today to reach the Open 13 final.

Murray won half of the points played on the eighth-seeded Mathieu's serve and every point on his own first serve to improve to 2-0 against the Frenchman.

He will play either Mario Ancic of Croatia or sixth-seeded Marcos Baghdatis of Cyprus on Sunday.

"My return was unbelievable," Murray said. "I hope it can go on tomorrow."

Murray broke in the opening game and again to lead 4-1 in the first set. The Briton also broke twice in the second set and converted his second match point on a netted backhand to close it out in 63 minutes.

"He played well. It was a non-match from me," said Mathieu, who had no break points.
