Anderson falls short of championship

LONDON (AP) — Andy Murray claimed his 34th career title on Sunday with a 6-3, 6-4 victory over unseeded South African and former Illini Kevin Anderson in the final of the grass-court Queen’s Club tournament.

Top-seeded Murray, who was contesting his 50th career final, also won the event in 2009, 2011 and 2013.

He joins John McEnroe, Boris Becker, Andy Roddick and Lleyton Hewitt as a four-time winner of the event.

It was Murray’s third title of the year, following victories in Munich and Madrid.
Earlier Sunday, the third-ranked Murray completed a 6-3, 7-6 (4) semifinal win over Serbia’s Viktor Troicki after rain stopped play Saturday.
