Britain's Andy Murray claimed his third successive victory over world number one Rafael Nadal to win the World Tennis Tournament in Rotterdam.
The 21-year-old Scot came through 6-3 4-6 6-0 in one hour 51 minutes to win the 10th title of his career.
Nadal was struggling with a knee injury in the closing stages and, after edging the second set, he appeared unable to serve effectively in the decider.
"Sorry to Rafa, I know he hurt his leg," said Murray afterwards.
"It shows how good a player he is - he was still managing to beat me on one leg."
