"I was really tired today. I didn't move like I usually do and Andy knew it. He just wanted to kill me, just wanted to make me run," said the new French No. 1, who smiled despite the defeat. The first set turned in the sixth game when Murray put the pressure on Simon's serve before forcing the Frenchman into a mishit drive. The shot was symptomatic of Simon's match as his powerful forehand, so effective in a 3-1/2 hour epic against No. 1 Nadal, failed to fire.
Murray slapped down four aces to close out the first set, and although Simon pressed harder in the second, he never once went to deuce on the Scot's towering service.
Andy Murray of Britain (R) and Gilles Simon of France hold up their trophies after their final match at the Madrid Masters Series tennis tournament October 19, 2008. Murray won the match
Only when the set went to a tiebreak did Simon threaten. Murray hit a drop shot but Simon successfully chased it down and clubbed a cross court winner for a 6-4 lead. Again Murray played the drop shot but the Scot escaped as Simon's reply landed just wide.
