Published Date: 26 October 2008
ANDY Murray today easily defended his St Petersburg Open title.
The 21-year-old Briton eased to a 6-1 6-1 victory over Kazakhstan's Andrey Golubev in less than 57 minutes.
It gave him his fifth title of the year, having also reached the US Open final and secured his place in the end-of-year Masters Cup.

Just a week after emerging victorious from the Madrid Masters, world number four Murray had few problems in the first set of the final against a player who is ranked 150th in the world.

Golubev held serve in the first game of the second set – but that was as good as it got as the Scot reeled off four games in a row.

Murray had insisted he faced a tough test yesterday – but it did not turn out that way as he eased to match point in the seventh game.

Although the Kazakh saved it and had the chance to reduce the arrears to 2-5 – he doubled faulted – and Murray took the next match point on offer to wrap up the title.

Was trying to watch the match on a p2p channel but there was no sould and buffering was terrible.

Would love to know what the banter between Murray and Golubev was all about at the presentation ceremony and Murray's wee speech where he seemed to be sharing something humourous with him as well.

Would a video clip be too much to ask for in tomorrow's Scotsman?

Do you think the Capital needs more tennis courts to get youngsters playing?
Yes, Andy Murray could inspire a generation.
No, if they wanted to play they’d find a way.
Doesn’t matter, we’re rubbish at it in this country.
