Former British Number 1, Andy Murray broke down in tears after winning his first ATP title since undergoing hip resurfacing surgery earlier in the year by beating Stan Wawrinka at the European Open in Antwerp.

Murray launched a stunning comeback from a set and a break down to win 3-6, 6-4, 6-4 to take his first title for more than two years, in just his seventh tournament since returning to singles, a win he described as one of the greatest in His career.

“It means a lot,” the three-time Grand Slam champion said. “The last few years have been extremely difficult.

“I didn’t expect to be in this position at all. I’m happy, very happy.”

Fellow Grand Slam champion Wawrinka, who has also had a number of recent injury issues, said: “To see you back at this level, it’s amazing.

“We’re all really happy. I’m sad I lost today but I’m really happy to see you back.”
