Andy Murray Claimed His First Masters Title In Cincinatti Last Night
What a proper tense match last night between Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic in the final of the Cincinatti Masters. Murray started and consistently looked the better player throughout the match, Djokovic looked tired and resigned, but after Murray missed his chance at taking 4 championship points in the second set I thought that he might crumble. Thankfully a tiebreaker saw Murray through and to his sixth career title. The final scores being 7-6 (7-4) 7-6 (7-5).
Djokovic, who has developed a friendly rivalry with Murray in recent years, had a 4-1 advantage over the Scotsman. However, Murray’s solitary win came just 9 days prior in Toronto and it really demonstrated the leaps and bounds Murray has taken as a player.
Following the win Murray has gone up 3 places in the rankings to a career high of 6th in the world. His next stop is at the Beijing Olympics.
Well done Andy.

He certainly has the belief now. Hopefully we’ll see him develop his game further and have a real go at tackling a Grand Slam.
