Murray lands fifth title in Marseille

Andy Murray claimed his fifth ATP Tour title today, beating Croatia’s Mario Ancic 6-3 6-4 with an impressive display in the Open 13 final in Marseille.

The result – and Murray’s fine overall performance in the competition – goes some way to vindicating his decision to appear in the tournament while opting to sit out Great Britain’s ultimately ill-fated Davis Cup assignment in Argentina due to concerns over a knee injury.
