VIDEO: Robredo loses to Murray in Valencia Open final, flips him the double-bird salute (in jest)
Tennis is a gentlemen's sport. Until you lose back-to-back finals, squandering 10 match points in the process.
Tommy Robredo fell 6-3, 6-7 (7-9), 6-7 (8-10) to Andy Murray on Sunday in the final of the Valencia Open, after the Scotsman saved five match points.
It was the second straight final Robredo's lost to Murray, after Murray beat him at the Shenzhen Open, saving five match points in that final, too.
Robrero finally had enough, and rightfully so:
Sunday's final was the longest three-set match of the ATP season, and Murray and Robredo's embrace gives a good idea of what it took out of the two men.

An incredible moment, no doubt.
Even Murray's mom, Judy, loved it:
Love this. End of match reaction from TRob. 2 gun salute + big smile. Sportsmanship at its best. Xx pic.twitter.com/SPhqoJzeZN
