Murray battled back from a set down against the American to win 6-1, 1-6, 2-6.

The 35-year-old, who is playing with a metal hip, has not scored a win since his triumph in Antwerp, Belgium in October 2019.

And thanks to his win over world number 17 Paul, the Scot has ensured he has returned to the top 50 in the rankings.

Murray had breezed past his previous opponents following a premature exit at the ATP Tour event in Madrid, which had prompted his late wild card entry into the tournament.

But in the final the quality was lifted, with 25-year-old Paul coasting the first set.

However, Murray soon got his engine running, winning the first five games in the second set including two break serves.

Murray then broke Paul’s serve in the opening game to set him on his way to a first Challenger event title in 18 years.
