Andy Murray claimed the ATP Madrid Open crown with a convincing 6-3 6-2 success over home favourite Rafael Nadal on Sunday.
The Scot was dominant throughout the encounter, sealing a well-deserved victory over his long-time rival - the first time he has ever beaten Nadal on clay.
World number three Murray made strong starts to both sets, and Nadal failed to seriously trouble his opponent's serve with any regularity.
Victory marked Murray's first against Nadal, Novak Djokovic or Roger Federer since he won Wimbledon in 2013, and it was a significant success against a man so dominant on clay, ending the Spaniard's hopes of winning the Masters 1000 event for a third year in succession.
Murray made an ideal start to the match, holding to love before breaking Nadal at the first time of asking.
He was forced to save a couple of break points at 4-2 up and then one more when serving for the set, but he held his nerve to get himself in front.
Murray carried that momentum into the second set, and Nadal had little answer as the Scot raced into a 4-0 lead.
Nadal did manage to avoid a bagel with a couple of holds, but Murray took advantage of his first match point when the Spaniard sent a weak return into the net.
It was Murray's 10th Masters 1000 victory, and defeat for Nadal will see him drop from fourth to seventh in the rankings.
