The Spaniard ground out a hard-fought victory in three sets against the Czech Republic's Tomas Berdych, winning 6-4, 3-6, 6-3 in the final.
"It's been a fantastic week for me," he said immediately after his triumph.
"Today it was not easy to manage all the emotions I had on court."
It was the 30-year-old's ninth career title and his first in Doha.
