Roberto Bautista Agut followed up his shock victory over world number one Novak Djokovic by lifting the Qatar ExxonMobil Open title Saturday.
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.
Bautista Agut will rise one place in the world rankings to 23 on the back of the victory in Qatar, and said his aim was to go higher.
