Andy Murray became a Masters Series Champion for the first time after winning a thrilling Cincinnati final against Novak Djokovic in straight sets, 7-6 (4) 7-6 (5).

In a match Andy Murray dominated, he nevertheless had to pick himself up after seeing his opponent defend four Championship points to take the match to a second set tie-break.

With two more Championship points in the breaker, he struck emphatically on his sixth overall - blazing a backhand past the world No. 3, before hunching over in the way that title winners deserve to.

Speaking directly after the match, Andy Murray described his "huge relief" at the victory.

Paying tribute to Andy Murrray in return, Djokovic said: "Last night (against Nadal) I played 'rocket tennis' - today, I tried to play rocket tennis, but I got rockets back."
