Jamie Murray and Eric Butorac fought back from a set down to clinch the Nottingham Open doubles title, reports BBC.
The third seeds defeated British duo Joshua Goodall and Ross Hutchins, who were only handed a wildcard for the event last week, 4-6 6-3 10-5.
Murray told the BBC Radio Five Live: "This is the third ATP event we have won this year so you can't ask for much better.''
"Hopefully, if we keep our form together, there is no reason why we cannot do well at Wimbledon next week", he said.
Goodall and Hutchins served out for the first set after gaining a decisive break on Murray's serve.
Murray and Butorac hit back to win the second and force a first-to-10 match tie-breaker.
Goodall's long volley handed the initiative to the world number 42 and his partner at 5-3 and, after a further mini-break made it 8-5, some cool net play by Murray sealed victory.
