British’s Andy Murray has defeated Novak Djokovic 6-4 4-6 6-3 and won the Rogers Cup in Montreal. The British number one’s victory in three hours earned him a fourth title of the year. A first win over the Serb since the 2013 Wimbledon final will be a huge boost for Murray before the US Open in New York starts on 31 August. The Scot dominated from the baseline as he claimed an 11th Masters title.
He dedicated the victory to his coach Amelie Mauresmo, who gave birth to a baby boy recently. Djokovic said he hopes to carry his form into Cincinnati next week and the US Open, which starts on August 31 in New York.
