Britains Andy Murray recovered from losing the opening set to beat Rafael Nadal of Spain in the Japan Open tennis final. The 24-year-old Murray won 3-6 6-2 6-0 in Tokyo to secure his second straight title after victory at the Thailand Open last week. Murray, No. 4 in the ATP rankings, had lost his last five matches against world No. 2 Nadal, the defending Japan Open champion, including four this year. He now has four titles this season. After losing the opening set, Murray took control of the second set in the fourth game as Nadal returned wide. He then recovered from 0-40 down in the next game, firing three aces, and saved another break point. A break in the eighth game secured the set.
