Rafael Nadal wins his 4th doubles title in Doha with his dear friend Pico Monaco.
Rafa was bitterly disappointed after losing the opener in singles to Berrer and he decided to remain in Doha to complete the doubles before heading to Melbourne to prepare for the Australian Open.
Rafa and Pico had a smooth tournament to drop just 1 set on the way. The score in the final was 6-3 6-4.
Rafa: This made it a positive week
Rafa commented “This has made it a positive week and I am going to be better prepared for Australia after winning this. By playing doubles I can evolve quicker with my movement, even if it is different from singles. It helps the singles, and it helps to get the feeling of winning again, especially with a friend.”
Rafa has won this title (doubles) already in 2005, 2009 and 2011.
