Six-time defending champion Rafael Nadal reached the Monte Carlo Masters final with a 6-4, 2-6, 6-1 victory Saturday over Andy Murray, who needed a cortisone shot in his right arm before the match.

Nadal will play fourth-seeded David Ferrer in Sunday's all-Spanish final. Ferrer defeated seventh-seeded Jurgen Melzer of Austria 6-3, 6-2 to advance to his second Masters title match. He lost his first in Rome to Nadal last year.
