Top seed Andy Murray brushed aside the challenge from rising Australian star Bernard Tomic on Saturday to cruise into the final of the Brisbane International in front of new coach Ivan Lendl. With Lendl watching his new charge court-side for the first time, the world number four Murray had too much class and experience for the 19-year-old Queenslander, winning 6-3, 6-2 in just 70 minutes.
The Scot will play Ukraine's Alexandr Dolgopolov in Sunday's final. "I saw the ball very well today, which is very important against Bernard," Murray said.
