Andy Murray ended a long drought against Novak Djokovic when he beat the Serbian 6-4 4-6 6-3 in the final of the Rogers Cup in Montreal on Sunday.
The British world number three ended an eight-match, 25-month slump against the world number one. He had not beaten Djokovic since the 2013 Wimbledon final. They embraced at the net after their three-hour match that left them exhausted because of lengthy games and courtside temperatures that reached as high as 40C.
“Everybody wants me and Novak to dislike each other and people always try to stir things up between us,” Murray said.
