The World No 4 Murray defeated Andy Roddick 6-4,6-2 Saturdayto win his first ATP title of the year and successfully defend his title at the ATP World Tour 250 tennis Tournament.


11 January 2009


The World No 4 Murray defeated No. 8 Andy Roddick 6-4, 6-2 Saturday to win his first ATP title of the year and successfully defend his title at the ATP World Tour 250 tennis tournament.

"The semi-final and final matches were very good against two top players so I am very pleased ,It is great to start the season with a title.said Murray"I have defended my title in three different tournaments now so I like to go back to the same places. I've always felt very comfortable in Doha."


 Andy Murray downplayed talk that he’s the favorite heading into the Australian Open after his successful defense of the Qatar Open title.

                                                           “I feel good going into the Australian Open but after what happened last year, I don’t want to get too carried away,” Murray said. “I am one of the top guys, but I don’t know if I am the favorite at the Australian Open. There is Roger, Rafa and Novak (Djokovic), who won last year.”

Roddick was impressed with Murray, and content with his performance in Qatar.

“He was hitting great balls,” Roddick said. “But I am happy with my form. I made him beat me. I didn’t give it away so easily. It was a successful week for me.”
