British top seed Andy Murray defeated Russia's Mikhail Youzhny 6-3, 6-2 yesterday to win the Valencia ATP title and capture his sixth trophy of the season.
The world number four, playing his first tournament following a six-week break to rest a wrist injury, took just 69 minutes to see off the unseeded Russian and wrap-up the 14th title of his career.
Murray broke Youzhny's serve twice in the 35-minute first set, despite being broken in the seventh game. In the 34-minute second set, Murray didn't give Youzhny an opportunity to bounce back as he raced into a 4-0 lead.
Youzhny, who beat second seeded Nikolay Davydenko in the semi-finals, was unable to halt the Murray charge as the Scot improved to a 63-9 match record on the season.
