Andy Murray continued to serve notice to the world's best players, beating top-ranked Rafael Nadal in the Capitala World Tennis Championship final a day after he had beaten No. 2 Roger Federer.
The fourth-ranked Murray defeated Nadal 6-4, 5-7, 6-3 to claim the winner-take-all prize of $250,000 in the exhibition tournament. The Briton is now aiming to win his first Grand Slam title when the Australian Open starts Jan. 19.
"I am looking forward to winning a Grand Slam this year and this victory was good before I go to Australia. I have never been past the fourth round there," Murray said. "I trained hard over the break and the victories over the past three days have given me confidence."
