Andy Murray: 'I dealt with nervy moments against Rafael Nadal'

Andy Murray says that his ability to deal with "all of the nervy moments" helped him beat Rafael Nadal in the Madrid Masters final.

Andy Murray has expressed his belief that the key to his victory over Rafael Nadal in the Madrid Masters final was his ability to deal with "the nervy moments".

The Scot was on top throughout the match, breaking the Spaniard in the opening service game on his way to the first set before repeating the feat twice at the start of the second en route to a 6-3 6-2 triumph.

However, Murray has claimed that the lack of errors and variety of shots helped him take the title.

He told Sky Sports: "I played a good match, made very few errors and changed the height of the ball extremely well, which was part of the reason why he was mistiming a few shots.

"I used the second serve into the forehand a lot and that worked well because I was able to get him moving. I dealt with all of the nervy moments I had in the match pretty well."

Murray won his second clay-court title in a week, after beating Philipp Kohlschreiber in Monday's Munich Open final.
