Daniil Medvedev maintained his winning run to beat Andy Murray in the Qatar Open final and claim his second title in successive weeks.
Murray, bidding for his 47th career title but first since 2019, pushed the Russian hard but succumbed 6-4, 6-4 in a battle of former world No 1s.
Medvedev also triumphed in Rotterdam last week and now has won 18 Tour-level titles. He started strongly and immediately found his baseline rhythm to win the majority of the long exchanges, moving into a 4-1 lead with two breaks of serve.
Murray, who saved five match points on Friday against Jiri Lehecka to reach his 71st ATP final, also fell behind in the second set but hit back with a break of serve.
