adminROME. — Novak Djokovic underlined the growing clay-court threat of Andy Murray barely a fortnight from the French Open tennis tournament after conceding defeat to the British number one in the final of the Rome Masters.
Murray, the number two seed who suffered defeat to Djokovic in last week’s Masters final in Madrid, celebrated his 29th birthday in style with a stylish 6-3, 6-3 victory over the Serbian in one hour, 35 minutes on Sunday.
It was Murray’s first title in Rome, the third clay-court title of his career after victories on the red dirt in Munich and Madrid last year and, more importantly, comes in timely fashion. — AFP.
