Top-seeded Andy Murray rallied to beat defending champion Marin Cilic 5-7, 7-5, 6-3 on Sunday to win the Aegon Queen’s Club tournament for the third time.
Murray held an early advantage, breaking to lead 2-0, but Cillic grew stronger as the set went on, and eventually took it by seven games to five as Murray hit the net with a backhand.
In the second set, Murray failed to win three break points at 3-2 but broke for the set when Cilic netted a forehand, and the match went to a deciding third set.
Murray dominated the final set, going 3-1 ahead when Cilic made a forehand error.
The shot of the day was this one, Murray hitting an awesome cross-court backhand winner, and Cillic seemed to be running out of ideas.
An unforced error from Cilic on match point saw Murray win his 27th career title.
The Scot who also claimed the trophy in 2009 and `11, now has two titles to his name this season, after winning in Miami in March.
Murray’s victory came in his first tournament since he was forced to withdraw from the French Open with a back injury, and it looked like the perfect preparation for Wimbledon which kicks off next Monday.
