Andy Murray beat Novak Djokovic for the first time since 2013 to win the Montreal final.
The Rogers Cup is Murray’s fourth title of the year, his 6-4 4-6 6-3 victory coming in three hours.
The victory over World No.1 since the 2013 Wimbledon will be a huge boost for 28-year-old ahead of the US Open starts in New York on 31 August.
The Scot dominated from the baseline as he claimed an 11th Masters title.
Murray is now set to overtake Roger Federer in Monday’s new ATP rankings to return to number two for the first time since 2013.
Djokovic, chasing a 25th Masters title, saw off three championship points at 5-2 before Murray served out for the match.
He dedicated the victory to his coach Amelie Mauresmo, who gave birth to a baby boy on Sunday.
“I’m not sure she will have stayed up to watch this one but, Amelie, this one’s for you,” said Murray, who won his 35th career title.
