Andy Murray made a successful defense of his Doha crown with a straight-set victory over Andy Roddick in Saturday's final at the Qatar Open.
The third-seeded Murray earned a 6-4, 6-2 victory in the season-opening event for the ninth title of his surging career. Five of those victories came last year, when he also made his first appearance in a Grand Slam final at the U.S. Open, where he lost to the great Roger Federer.
Murray gained a measure of revenge for the setback at Flushing Meadows by beating the Swiss superstar twice at the conclusion of last season, then on Friday rallied from a set down to beat the former world No. 1 in the semifinals of this tournament and continued his strong play Saturday.
