DOHA: David Ferrer, so often the forgotten man of the world’s top ten, made a heartening start to the new season by winning the Qatar Open title on Saturday, defeating Tomas Berdych, 6-4, 7-5.
The 32-year-old saved three set points in the second set against Berdych and proved that he can still be a high level contender with the 22nd title of his career — making it six consecutive years he has won at least one title.
“The performance was very good,” Ferrer said. “I’m happy, because it never is easy to begin the season winning one tournament.”
