( CNN ) -- Roger Federer brushed aside the challenge of Andy Murray on Saturday to claim his fifth Dubai Open title . The Swiss champion and world No.3 won in straight sets 7-5 6-4 in one hour 30 minutes to notch up the 72nd title of his career . `` It 's beautiful winning this . It 's such a difficult tournament with so many top ten players , and Andy having such a huge victory getting to the final , '' Federer said . Murray could n't repeat the form which saw him down Djokovic in straight sets on Friday , instead playing second fiddle to 30-year-old Federer . The Scot had a chance to break in the sixth game but squandered two opportunities to edge ahead . Four games later , Federer made Murray pay , breaking his serve to go ahead 6-5 before serving out the set . The 16-time grand slam champion started the second set in similar fashion breaking Murray in the third game , before the world No.4 fought back to level at 3-3 -- breaking Federer 's run of 66 unbroken service games in the process . Two games later though Federer was back in charge , breaking the Scot 's serve before closing out the match . `` It is wonderful to win five . It 's only happened at a handful of tournaments maybe in my career , Federer said . Murray was happy to have achieved a couple of notable victories ( Tomas Berdych and Djokovic ) during the week , but conceded it was always going to be a challenge facing Federer in the final . `` I was happy to reach the final , though I would like to have gone one better . I think most of the crowd wanted him to win , but it was a great atmosphere , '' Murray said .
