The Scot, who is ranked number 11 in the world after winning the Qatar Open last month, took less than two hours to scoop his fifth career title.

The crunch came in the hard-fought final game of the first set, when Murray won with an ace after squandering four set points.

The 20-year-old said: "That last game of the first set was crucial.

"If two or three points had gone his way, the issue could have been different."
