   World No 1, Novak Djokovic, has defeated Andy Murray to claim the Madrid Open title for the second time.

“Congratulations to Andy for a big fight. It was all decided by just a few points at the end.
“I don’t know how I dug my way out, but that’s how it happens when you play against one of the best in the world. I’m just happy to have overcome this challenge.”
