( CNN ) -- Andy Murray crushed Roger Federer in straight sets in a one-sided final to claim victory in the Shanghai Masters on Sunday . The Briton , who also defeated the former world number one in the Toronto Masters final in August , took just under 90 minutes to secure a 6-3 6-2 victory . World number four Murray has now beaten Federer eight times in their 13 meetings , although has crucially lost both times they have met in the final of a grand slam ( U.S. Open in 2008 and this year 's Australian Open final ) . And there was never any doubt that Murray would continue his fine record against Federer , with the Swiss making a remarkable 30 unforced errors while failing to convert six break points . `` I enjoy playing Roger , '' Murray told the official ATP Tour website . `` I do n't find it easy at all . It 's incredibly difficult every time . `` But I love the challenge of playing against him . Everytime I go on court , I know I need to play great tennis to win against him . I do n't know if my game matches up well against his or not , but I 've played some of my best tennis against Roger . `` I hit a lot of great shots on the run and you have to come up with a lot of great shots against Federer if you want to beat him . '' Federer , who moves back up to second place in the world rankings behind Rafael Nadal despite losing the final , added : `` I had a good tournament and thought I played well this week . `` I had some great wins against Robin Soderling , John Isner , Andreas Seppi and Novak Djokovic and I 'm very happy with where my game is at . `` Today could have been better , but Andy was the best player in the tournament so he deserved it .
