Andy Roddick staged a great escape to win his fourth Queen's Club trophy in five years with a dramatic 4-6, 7-6, 7-6 win over France's Nicolas Mahut on Sunday.

The American second seed survived a match point deep in the second set tiebreak to wreck Mahut's hopes of landing a debut title.

Mahut made his ranking of 106 look like a mathematical error as he outwitted Roddick in the opening set with his attacking tactics.

The world number five restored order by pocketing the second set tiebreak 9-7 and, despite not finding a way to break the Mahut serve in the entire match, he picked up the top prize by firing his 24th ace.
