Spain's Roberto Bautista Agut defeated Nikoloz Basilashvili 6-3, 6-4 in the final to win the Qatar ExxonMobil Open final at the Khalifa International Tennis & Squash Complex, in Doha.
In a repeat of last year's title-clash, Bautista Agut rallied from a break down in the first and second sets to seal his victory after 86 minutes to gain revenge over the Georgian, who was victorious in the final in 2021.
“I am very happy,” Bautista Agut said.“It has been a while since I lifted a trophy. I have been working very hard to reach another final and to get the chance to win another title. It was a big dream for me to win a title and I have now won twice in Doha. It is very special for me and I am very happy.”
It is the second time Bautista Agut has lifted the trophy at the ATP 250 event, having clinched the crown in 2019.
