10/19/2008 - Madrid, Spain (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - In the final matchup that no one expected, Andy Murray defeated Gilles Simon 6-4, 7-6 (8-6) to win the Madrid Masters on Sunday.
A day after upending Roger Federer, Murray downed the unseeded Frenchman Simon, who had completed the upset-themed Saturday with a semifinal win over world No. 1 Rafael Nadal. The win for Murray was his fourth ATP title this season.
The fourth-seeded Scot picked up his second straight Masters Series win, as Murray also downed Novak Djokovic in Cincinnati in August. The 21-year-old followed that win with a straight-set loss to Federer in the U.S. Open final, his first appearance past the semis in a Grand Slam.
Murray avenged that loss with his 3-6, 6-3, 7-5 win over Federer on Saturday, ending the Swiss star's 11-match winning streak. The win ensured the year-end No. 1 honor for Nadal before he even took the court against Simon, who stunned the reigning Wimbledon, French Open and Olympic champion Nadal in a three- hour, 22-minute affair, 3-6, 7-5, 7-6 (8-6).
Murray took home a purse of $480,000 for winning on Sunday.
