Andy Murray has captured his fifth career title in Marseille today after defeating Croatian Wild Card Mario Ancic 6-3 6-4 in one hour and 54 minutes. The match had a great rhythm, with both player taking turns at the lead of the set, but Murray broke at 4-3 for him in the first and in the second hand faced a 1-3 situation, but managed to win 5 out of the next 6 games to win the title in Marseille.
Murray will now return to the top 10 players in the ATP, after winning his second title this year. His record is 10-1 this year, losing his only match against Australian Open finalist Wilfred Tsonga.
As a personal note, i find the Englishman as one of the players that will play at the Shanghai Master Series Final at the end of the year. He has shown great improvement over the last season, and he would of been higher in the rankings if not for the injuries he sustained. He is a star on the rise.
I would like to conclude 2 things after this tournament in Marseille :
1. Mario Ancic is back after having a few health problems that kept him away from the court for more than 6 months. It remains to be seen weather is worthy to regain his top 10 ranking this season.
2. Jo-Wilfred Tsonga does not seem to maintain the level of tennis displayed in Melbourne, but the next few weeks will prove if he just had "the Melbourne syndrome" or if he is truly a great player.
