But the Swiss was still able to play some magnificent strokes, in particular a killer drop shot and a sweeping backhand down the line in game five as he got the break back before incredibly moving ahead with a break at 4-3.
The drama was not over, however, as a pumped-up Murray got back on level terms yet again when Federer missed a regulation smash, to the astonishment of the 15,000 spectators.
Murray failed to convert any of seven match points in a fabulous 10th game but made no mistake two games later, sealing victory after three hours and one minute when Federer made an error.
Simon earlier completed his group matches with a 6-1, 6-4 victory over Radek Stepanek to finish with a record of two wins and one defeat in the Gold Group.
The Frenchman, ranked ninth in the world, only made it into the eight-man field when Rafael Nadal pulled out with an injury on the eve of the tournament
