MONTREAL(AP) Andy Murray withstood his toughest test of the tournament, prevailing against Juan Martin Del Potro 6-7 (4), 7-6 (3), 6-1 Sunday in the final of the $3 million Rogers Cup.
The third-seeded Murray, from Scotland, matched his career best from last season with his fifth tournament win of the year and improved his record to 11-4 against top-10 players this season.
Del Potro, from Argentina, was looking for his second straight tournament victory after winning in Washington, a week earlier. He squandered an opportunity to jump past Andy Roddick into fifth in the world rankings.
The match turned when Del Potro called for the trainer while up 6-5 in the second set. After the medical timeout, Murray held serve at love and won the tiebreaker.
