Murray the Madrid's Master

Madrid: Andy Murray lifted his second major title in three months by winning the Madrid Masters with a 6-4, 7-6 (6) victory over France’s Gilles Simon.
The victory in just over 90 minutes saw the big serving Scot fire 10 aces. The fourth seed became the first British player to win four ATP titles in the same season.
His Madrid success came just three months after he won
the first Masters shield of his career at Cincinnati. He also claimed the 2008 titles in Doha and Marseille.
Murray, who has already booked his place in the seasonending Masters Cup in Shanghai next month, encouraged Simon, who stands provisional ninth in the race for the last four spots in the eight-man field.
After both men knocked out Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal respectively in dramatic semifinals, the title matchup was short on major drama.
Murray made the opening move in the fifth game of the first set as he put Simon under heavy pressure with three break points. The Frenchman saved the first two but not the third as he reached for an overhead backhand, which put Murray into position to force an error and earn the 3-2 break.
The margin was enough for Murray to ease through as he wrapped up the opening set in 34 minutes on his third ace.
