LOS ANGELES, Aug. 1 (UPI) -- Defending champion Sam Querrey will go against top-seeded Andy Murray for a $112,000 paycheck Sunday in the Farmers Classic title match.
In the semifinals Saturday, Querrey, the second-seeded American, lost his first set to sixth-seeded Serbian Janko Tipsarevic 6-7 (3-7) and had to fend off a match point in the 10th game of the second set before forcing a second tie-breaker. Tipsarevic went up 5-1 before Querrey answered with six straight points to take the middle set 7-6 (7-5).
The Serb refused to go quietly, however, taking a 3-1 lead in the deciding set before Querrey took control and forged a 6-4 win.
Murray, the world No. 4 Scotsman, had his own travails. After breezing to a 6-0 first-set win against fourth-seeded Spaniard Feliciano Lopez, he dropped the second set 1-6. Murray bounced back 6-4 in the deciding set to earn a berth in the final.
A victory Sunday would make Querrey the first player to win this event two years in a row since Andre Agassi did it in 2001-2002.
Murray is going for his first title this year and 15th of his career.
