MARSEILLE, France — Fourth-seeded Andy Murray beat Mario Ancic of Croatia 6-3, 6-4 today to win the Open 13 for his fifth career title.

"It was really tough," Murray told Sport Plus television. "A lot of close games. Both of us got a little bit nervous at the end of the first set."

The 20-year-old Briton converted his second match point after Ancic netted a service return.

Ancic, ranked 135th, saved a match point at 5-3 to hold his serve after Murray had rallied from a 3-1 deficit.

"I served well in the more important points," Murray said. "In the second set, I returned really well. He tired a little bit."

Murray won by dominating exchanges from the baseline. He took Ancic's serve in the first set at 4-3 with a forehand winner down the line.

Ancic wasted five chances to break back in the next game to let Murray convert his fifth set point with an ace.

Murray had 11 aces and one double-fault overall.

Ancic, a former top 10 player before illness and a shoulder injury marred his 2007 season, got a wild card to play in the Marseille tournament.

Ancic lost the Open 13 final to Frenchman Arnaud Clement in 2006.
