Antwerp, october 20
Andy Murray claimed his first ATP title for two-and-a-half years as he beat Stan Wawrinka in an engrossing duel in the European Open final in Antwerp today.
The Former world No. 1, who had hip re-surfacing surgery in January in a bid to salvage his career, battled back from a set and a break down to win 3-6 6-4 6-4.
In the first final between the pair for 11 years it was 34-year-old Wawrinka, who appeared on course for victory when he had points for a double break in the second set, having powered through the first. But Murray showed his old fighting qualities as he roared back to claim a 46th career title.
