Novak Djokovic came back from the brink to deny Andy Murray a hat-trick of Shanghai Masters titles in a bad-tempered final.

World No.2 Djokovic saved five match points during the second set before pulling through 5-7 7-6 (13/11) 6-3 to claim his second tournament win in as many weeks and a measure of revenge for his US Open final defeat in the pair's previous meeting.

The Serb demolished his tennis racket after surrendering his serve for the fourth time in the opening set, a break that handed Murray a 6-5 lead.

The Scot, who had been broken three times himself to that point, duly served out the opener without alarm and took the initiative with another break for a 4-3 lead in the second set.

Murray served for the title at 5-4 but Djokovic escaped a championship point before breaking back and then saved four more in the subsequent tie-break.

Djokovic eventually prevailed 13-11 in a 20-minute plus breaker and this time it was Murray's turn to take out his frustration on his equipment.

And Djokovic broke through in for a 4-3 lead in the decider and again to seal the title against his deflated opponent.
